The New Normal -- And Thanks

[qos]

Well, I go back to work tomorrow. The office seems utterly unreal right now. In fact, this afternoon I realized that I had almost forgotten that I have to go back!

Not everything has settled yet, but tomorrow marks the beginning of The New Normal.

I can't find words to express what a difference this new place makes for me emotionally. Having the light, the space, the niceness of everything, makes me feel like I'd been living under a lead blanket for the past several years.

Thank you so much for all the comments of support, cheering, and great suggestions about where to buy sheets! I've been too busy and tired to respond to all of them, but having a cheering section has made such a difference these past few days.

I expect that starting tomorrow I'll be back to a more normal LJ pattern: reading through and actually commenting on my friends' entries -- something I really haven't done much of since Lohain's death. But my need to focus on myself has ebbed considerably, and I have energy to spare and share again.

*hugs flist!

Hugs you back!

I do get the emotional change -- once I moved, I realized how much my old ghetto apartment had contributed to my depression. So congrats on the new space!

I hope the return to work goes well and that getting back to something resembling normality helps with the healing process.

As a fellow (fella!) recent emergee from the underbelly of a dark apartment, I understand and applaud your step to this new space.

Enjoy and soak up the light!
