Back to the Salt Mine

I've escaped back to work. I've just had 5 days of vacation, the last 3 renovating our kitchen and I think 1 more day would've killed me off!
So I've limped back into the office, all band-aided up and creaky. Email seems pretty good right about now…after days of chipping away wall tile and beating down plaster and chiseling up linoleum.
Five layers of flooring had to come up.
I'm sure there's a parable in all this waiting to spring forth, but I'm too tired out to tease it out.
At this point, just glad to be back in the saddle, or the swivel chair, to be more exact.
