I was on vacation last week, and today was my first day back at work.
I’m desperately trying to follow my own advice about decompressing after vacation, but I don’t know how well I’m doing with it.

The place where I used to work had a daycare for sick kids.
It was a drop-in place that cared for kids with mild illnesses so parents could go to work. It was staffed by nurses, was a nice place and there were rules and criteria for using it.
