Today was my first day back working for THE MAN after 11 months of maternity leave. I'm doing my old job, only in a new place (one closer to home, natch) so in some way it felt like starting over. Meeting everyone, introducing myself

LOVELY!!!

Congrats on your first day back on the job.

I loved this post...you are a beautiful writer.

Isn't it amazing how we can remember the songs our parents sang us as children? I remember some of my mom's songs, too.

I was wondering what your country of origin was after reading some of your older posts that talked about being an immigrant. Now I know! I visited Russia a few times and found it to be a country rich in culture and some of the warmest people I've met.

Ta very much. :)

I've actually misled you a bit. I am of Russian descent and speak it fluently but I was born in (what was) Yugoslavia.

I've only been to Russia proper once (and remember it from a small child's perspective) but I would love to visit again.

Oh wow. The sweetness of the last two paragraphs broke my tired heart.

Thank you. :)

Why is your heart tired? Is it election fatigue?

[prophetessamy]

Oh I wish it were that. I have been working overtime and how, and I disappointed my best friend really badly today, and life is just rushing through me and past me at a great speed so I'm running on empty. :(

Whether ever walking in dark rooms he'll feel an echo of comfort, recall the sensation of being held and loved, the scent of my skin, the rhythm of my heart.
I really, truly believe those things are never lost.

A few years ago I told my parents I found late-night Snooker very relaxing and felt myself almost hypnotised by it It emerges that throughout my infancy my parents would sit up with non-sleepy baby-me and watch snooker until I was ready to go back to bed.
