Getting back...

So, I went back to work today and I have to say that I was sort of on the fence about wanting to go and then not wanting to go. It wasn't too painful though I did have at least a foot and half tall pile of mail sitting on my desk. Turned out most of it wasn't for me. I don't know why but the person who sorts all of the mail will give me anything that says "case management" on it without looking at who the mail is actually for. So I spent some time this morning resorting mail and getting it to the appropriate people.

The weather here is weird! It was in the 60's today. Then when I got home, I was trying to take a little nap and found myself getting rather annoyed that the tornado warning siren kept going off. I was annoyed because it wasn't so much as drizzling outside and there was no wind at all. I finally got up and turned on the local news. Turns out that tornadoes were touching down all around me but right in the exact spot I was - nothing! My sister's neighborhood got hit pretty badly. She was lucky and had no damage but there were two homes down the street from her that were leveled and then just a few blocks away an entire street was gone. It was a selective tornado and for whatever reason, thank god, it didn't select her.

All of this kind of put into perspective all of the self induced sadness I have been putting on myself. Truth is, though things are not exactly where I would want them to be in my life right now, they are pretty damn good and there are people dealing with more immediate anguish that me. I'll have to keep that in mind. Helps keep me level headed about life.
