Real Life

Tomorrow I go back to the "Real World."  Back to work.  Only half days.  I am being eased back into life.  It is going to be hard for me.  Somehow I feel like I need to be home.  It makes me feel safe when everything around me is out of my control.  If things become too scary, I have grand kids near  me for hugs.  My brother's house to go visit them and their I feel like what if Joel calls and I am not here.  I know it makes no sense.  Most of the time he calls my cell phone.  I will be closer to him at work.  But visiting hours are at night so I cannot see him.  I talked to him tonight.  He really did sound good.  He did not yell.  He did not say hateful things.  He is still supposed to be sent to long-term care.  We talked about that without him losing his temper.  I hope he is in at least another month.  I want to know he is completely stable!!  I would also like to be closer to getting him in a group home.  It would be great if he could go straight from long-term care to a group home.  I am not sure that will happen. 
How many e-mails do you think I will have when I get back to work?  I am going to guess, 700.
