First Week of Work

This is my first week of work. I have this new amazing job- it is the kind of job where I get paid to do all of the activist work I would have done for free. Shhh don't tell my boss. The challenge now is finding balance. I took some time yesterday to feel- to cry, to read, to write. It seems the whole world may be ready to move on and I feel caught in its riptide. It has only been a little under a month and half since I last held my baby. It feels like a million years ago. It feels like just yesterday. Gotta remember to have some grief time, even if it means penciling it in.

p.s. here is a picture of the bathtub I want to climb into right now.
