So, the day after I made like a hippopotamus and wallowed has come and gone. Today it was about getting back on the metaphorical horse which saw me ultimately back at my desk and plowing through more work than I'd done in a while (coz you know, shitty headspace and all that). What has been most surprising …

Because I'm sad baby girl, I replied. But I birthday girl and I give you a hug, she said. And so she did.
