But no, seriously, I'm there on reduced hours and it was really nice to see everyone. I had already told everyone what was going on, so I don't think anyone is too embarrassed to ask me anything (plus as you might've gathered from reading this blog, I'm a rather open person anyway). Nice to feel useful and normal, plus have some sort of routine in my life. I think I'll be busy on non-time limited tasks that use my brain... which might be fun. I've also been issued with a new work laptop that I was irrationally pleased to acquire:
Possibly says a lot about my tech geekdom that I find this cute.
One difference to usual was getting my lunch signed off by the lymphoma nurse (Subway - all okay as long as its fresh!) and also giving the Chemo hotline (who I need to be in touch with whenever anything is slightly wrong) a quick call because I had a little headache. All fine though.
Another difference, perhaps a bit more pronounced, is that I guess the upside of work has become sort of a double edged sword now. A big part of working somewhere with lots of people my age is the social aspect of it - going out and having a good time on a Friday. And I can't now, which was sad. Well, I can, but I need to be vigilant of germs and crowded spaces... things that going out on a Friday night give you in abundance :(. Oh well, more than enough time to socialise when I'm all better, I tell myself - but I still feel a bit sad to be missing out.
This weekend, I'm doing not much tonight - think my Mum is coming by- then watching the football tomorrow, and then on Sunday I may be having dinner with my friends. So keeping busy :).
Hope everyone has a nice weekend, too.
