Not too bad!

My first shift back at work is 3/4 over, and I'm doing pretty good.  My foot doesn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would.  Being on the easy bench helps, as does the Tylenol/ibuprofen combo that I've been super vigilant about. I thought I might have some problems with remembering how to do things, but it's been like wearing a pair of old jeans.  Easy and comfortable!  It's so nice to see my co-workers.  There was a cheesecake and home made cookies in my honor :)


I miss my new puppy, though.  I hope he's not been throwing a tantrum this whole time.  I'll play with him for a bit when I get home, and possibly even go for a short walk, depending on the pain level.   I didn't get to see Harpo yesterday, either, because my PT appointment was so late.  I did dishes with my spare time today, so maybe I can get the bird out for at least a little bit tomorrow.


Another professional training session with Chip on Thursday morning.  He's been doing really well, even though I haven't spent as much training time with him the last few days as I should.  We did a bit before work today, though, and I'll do some more tonight.


Good to be back at work, even though I'm not getting paid for it yet, because my payroll account has been disabled!  My boss forgot to notify HR that I'd be back today, so I can't clock in or sign in to do my online training. I already waded through 2 months worth of emails, which weren't too bad.  Hopefully the HR thing will be fixed soon and I won't miss this paycheck.  I've lost track of paydays, so I'll have to look that up again.  I did ok with the short term disability payments, even though I got shorted 2 weeks worth. It wasn't worth the hassle of getting the paperwork fixed.  The way this company does it's STD payments is ridiculous and cumbersome. It will be nice having a paycheck again, because my credit card balance is getting pretty high.
