returning to work

I return to work on Monday and I'm dreading dreading it. First thing Monday morning I need to meet with my manager and HR advisor... I don't want to have to talk about being off, expectations, etc. I don't want people asking me how I'm doing. I don't want to be there period, but I don't have a choice at this point, so all I want to do is punch in my hours, do my work, and come home.

Hopefully the 2 jobs I applied for this week may yield something.

Ugh. I really hope that this doesn't ruin my weekend.

Overdue Update

Brief update. Been off work for past 8 weeks I think. Things have been up and down. Good days and bad. Accomplished a few things, made some plans and am feeling a bit better. Far from perfect, but I anticipate that I will be returning to work on Tuesday. Indifferent to that at this point. I'll truck on through until my contract is up and/or I find another job.

Plan has been made that I am applying to Social Work in March. I have 4 courses to do between now and then, one of which I am doing now. Aced the midterm so I hope to get out with a good final mark. Also need to do 300 hoursvof volunteering work between now and then, which is where my worrying begins. But I'll try not to focus on that too much. I should be starting volunteering at RMHNL soon so that'll be a start.

During this time hubby was also off work due to stomach issues. After medicines and tests we have confirmed his suspected diagnosis of IBS and are working to control it better. He returned to work but is now off again coping with some stress. Last few months have been hard for us but hopefully things continue to improve.
