Migraine again

Today is my 1st day back at work after 11 weeks of Maternity Leave. I wonder if it is coincidence that my migraine attacked yesterday and today. :P

To be truthful, I haven't been completely out of touch with work either as my itchy backside will itch to log on and my fingers prompted to punch a few email replies. But I have tried very hard to curb the urge so these are limited to really VIPs (very important projects).

My colleagues are glad to have me back and already they have handed the projects they were covering back to me. I had requested to meet them tomorrow to hand over,... but guess they couldn't wait. :) Which is just as well since I don't want to sit and laze around.

For the rest of my ML, I'll be taking Wednesdays off till July 2009. I'm not sure if this will materialise as I'm workaholic and I can't leave work undone on a Wednesday. But I'll definitely try my best. Think I'll sign Lucas up for some fun courses to do then I'll have little choice but make sure I'm out of office.

From now till Lyra progresses to childcare in March 2010, my mornings and evening will have to run like clockwork so that I can send Lyra to infant care, Lucas to childcare, me to get to office on time and then the cycle repeats in reverse for evenings. I would also have to plan my day tightly so that I can express my milk at 10am, 1 and 4 pm. Unlike in MCYS (where my colleagues who are mostly parents), I doubt my colleagues here (who are mostly singles) will be as understanding and tolerant of my milk production schedule. And this time, it will really be a challenge since my milk factory is malfunctioning and barely meeting demand. Wonder if stress-laden milk will impact the taste and qaulity of milk.
