Just wanting to check in before bed...

I have been incredibly busy at work (a good thing) and cannot imagine (based on what I keep hearing about the workload) that I will have the time I had to e-mail, blog, stare off into space that I often had at my old job. And It's not that I wasn't busy there. I was a lot of the time. I guess I just had arms around my work in a way that I won't have here for a while. So far everyone is great and being there feels good. I've been told that I'm doing well on the assignments I've been given, which is heartening, to say the least. It's not just editing. There's a creation/writing component to the work as well. It's good to be stretched.

Actually, the whole business of being there feels surreally normal. The three weeks between giving notice and starting at the new place helped me to appropriately process the change and to effectively separate.

My neck is still hurting a bit, but keeping heat on it all night last night and during the day today has helped.

Oh! The neurosurgeon and I missed the wine festival. I thought it was this coming weekend. Apparently it was this past weekend. I'm actually in no way disappointed. I told him that we all (him, me, and E) should hang out again when she's fully recovered (she's currently under the weather) and that seemed to go over well.
