Locomotion

I've worked nearly two weeks straight, including an overnighter away, and I'm doing well. Strange how well we're capable of adaptation. I must admit, the overnight stay away was pretty darn good - seriously, a whole night's sleep. Yes, I woke up at the usual Birdie-intervals, but I got back to sleep pretty soon after I realized I was on my own.

The 'being away' is new and a bit uncomfortable. I missed Birdie. Of course, I checked in regularly and when I heard that wee nattering in the background, I got a bit choked up. She is soooo adorable to listen to. Nevertheless, we had a sweet reunion and since, a good deal of mushing and giggling (and crying and whining, too).

The me in the job is different. I'm not sure quite how to explain that yet. I know that I am different about how I conduct myself and how I make decisions with my time. That too, could just be the resolve that comes with starting a new job and new set of expectations with co-workers and superiors alike.

I like coming home from work and seeing my Bird flap away to fly to me. I miss her loads when I leave her wee cutie face and wonder if it's all okay. But alas, she is in capable hands, with Daddy, flying around like the world is at her feet (it is, I think).
