Today was decidedly not a no-meeting day 🙂 I am tired and wiped.
It hasn’t been a year since I was last at work but it’s pretty close. And while I can’t believe it’s been this long, what really makes me struggle more is the lack of clarity around timeline and path to reintegration. I can’t see a line of sight to any version of normal life.
I can’t see what will change so that my kids can fully go back to school. Or so we can go back to work. So we can eat at a coffee shop with friends. So I can travel and see my family again. All of these milestones seem an indeterminate amount of time away. Can’t tell if it’s 6 months 9 months 2 years or even more. That uncertainty is the hardest part.
And yet the climbing gym is opening on Wednesday which is a cause for celebration. So maybe it’s just about baby steps.
Yes to small wins and also yes to naming the pain and frustration. Naming things matters.
