As if the realization that Alex is leaving for Sweden tomorrow wasn't enough, it just dawned on me that I will have to return to work in two days. Talk about adding insult to injury. I really was able to forget about work for this entire time that Alex was here. I got a couple of work related calls and each one sort of took me by surprise but once they were done - pffft! Out of my brain entirely! This phenomena has happened only once before in my life. That was last summer when I spent a month in Stockholm. I didn't think of work even once! All of this leads me to believe that I am meant to be there permanently.
It's taken me a long time to learn how to leave work at work at the end of the day. I still bring it home, in my thoughts, in my dreams. I have many sleepless nights worrying about it so when I get these times where I don't think of it even once, well...w00t!! For me, that is a milestone.
I know that I will go back on Monday to a mountain of stuff that no one else could figure out how to do while I was gone. There will be meetings scheduled for me that I will have to attend. There will be much catching up to do. And I will be all kinds of bitter for having to go back to it all and so sad that Alex is not here anymore. It will probably be best if people stayed clear of me for a few days. Just a word of warning.
