Eric left for home yesterday morning, and now I am preparing to return to once again to the hell which is my job. As I sit here eating breakfast, I can't help but reflect on my time off.

The past week has been just what my body needed. After over a year of getting about 4 hours of sleep each night, it was nice to get 8 every night. My knees and back, while not perfect, and down to just a dull throbing pain, which is about normal, so that is good. Even a pinched nerve in my back hasn't heart for a few days.

I will be wearing my knee brace today. I don't really need it right now, but when you are throwing around 50+ lb bags and boxes of ingrediants, it's nice to have a little extra support.
