Happy Monday morning from this side of the planet. It's 8:25 AM. I am here catching up with you after doing some chores, morning Yoga and then enjoying my morning tea with my husband and a lot of chit chat.
. It's bright sunny morning, one coming after a long wait of almost a week of cloudy and gloomy morning. 
. So, the bedsheets are washed and drying up.
It the last week of my medical leave. I was advised rest for two weeks. My surgery would complete two months on 6th July. And my leave ends this week. I get back to work on Monday. It would be after a long break of three months that I go back to work. I am looking forward to it but also having a feeling that you have when you start things after a vacation . This whole week would be for preparation for getting back to work. I have already started a bit of work doing online meetings and sessions in the last two weeks. A good way to get into the transition. My sleep wake rhythm are also in place and I am not taking multiple naps in the daytime as I did for few weeks after surgery.
Hope that everyone has a good week ahead.
I am planning to spend this week having fun with family, staying productive with all the preparations for my work and using it for my online hustles.
Stay happy and healthy.

I hope your preparations go as planned and your work starts up smoothly again. Good luck with it!
Hopefully, we're in the final few days of work on the house and can say goodbye to the construction guys soon. I need to get our car tagged and may have to call a local government agency to get that finished. I'm missing one document I need... (I have the cancelled check where I paid the taxes for our car but can't find the document from them stating it has been paid.)

@arunima25 Yes, I'll have to contact the government department and pay for a copy of the document and wait for them to mail it to me.

@DaddyEvil Oh! I see. That would be extra effort and time. Hope that it is quick and does not charge much for the service.

When I started this online sessions two weeks back, I was tired on the first three days and would go on yawning. Though we seem fully recovered, it seems body
takes a bit longer to completely heal and get back the energy. . I hope that all goes smoothly. Keeping fingers crossed .
It would be a big relief once the construction guys left. It's good to have the home back with no outsiders.
I hope that you find the missing document there. Sometimes we keep things so safely, we can't find them later. Is there any other way in case you don't find the document ?

@allknowing Yes, I am going slow. It was a major surgery and even my doctor feels that six months would be what it takes for the body to get adjusted to such trauma and surgeries. So, baby steps to be taken. Luckily, my friend and the owner of the school is cooperative. And I have one young energetic and helpful assistant and one very efficient helper with me. Though she is just a helper to clean and assist children to restrooms or clean them after accidents and leaks, she has learnt many things over years. She comes handy for doing exercises and other movements with them.

@arunima25 The concern will vanish in a day or two. Working days, I mean.

I know, those first days after medical leave are terrible! I went to work the second day back, left after six hours, and slept from 3 PM until 7 AM the next morning. Hope you’re healed up and can readjust to the “daily grind” next week.

@arunima25 For a long time, Vince could only cope with one small task at a time and then he'd have to rest but now he can keep going, slowly, all day.

Sometimes fatigue just takes over. Doctor says that it is very normal and it would take few more months.

Yes, my assistant is an young enthusiastic girl and is too passionate. I love her energy. The other helper is also a big prize. Yes, it's a mixed feeling going back after three long months, two months of summer vacation and one month of medical leave.

I have undergone a major surgery of total hysterectomy and ovaries removal in May. It was invasive one and a long one due to all the endometriosis complications. I was advised 2 months of rest. I got it done during mid of summer vacation and applied for a month long leave

@arunima25 I had a very bad fall in the kitchen at home. Broke my upper left arm...straight through break. It is taking ages for the bones to align properly before the healing can start. Also the brace they fitted was too long and rubbed under my arm making it weep and bleed so I have to have a dressing on and changed weekly. Also, it was so tight it has made my arm and fingers go numb to the point i am having trouble bending my fingers.....it will get better but it is slow....very slow .....

Yes, I am ready. I am just hoping that all goes smoothly. Only when I get back to work and my regular routine, I can gaze at my actual energy post surgery.
