Magic I Saw this Week: This week I ended up working from home two days. On Wednesday, I stayed home because Nathaniel came home sick from school on Tuesday and we had made a doctor’s appointment for him Wednesday morning. I wanted to be the one to take him, so I worked from home all day. It turned out he had pneumonia so I am glad we went to the doctor. On Friday, I picked up my friend from the dentist after she had an operation and was not safe to drive home by herself. So that meant that I got to exercise the magic of being able to adjust my schedule as needed this week. That was wonderful. We also got a couch, a rug and lamp in our office this week which was super magical.

Magic I Saw this Week: this week was a tough week because of the concussion I got on Sunday. I went to work on Monday/Tuesday but felt a bit loopy the whole time and then I worked from home on Wednesday/Thursday and I was still loopy and irritable. On Friday I went to work briefly and then tried to take time off but I was so agitated at some point that I felt I might jump out of my own skin. So this week wasn’t fully on the magical side. having said all that, the freak accident that caused the concussion could have been much worse so I am deeply grateful for that.
