The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
You have been gone for 5 months, there should be some nervousness about going back, right? Recognize that...it isn't the same as a two week vacation (don't you wish!). Cut you some slack. I might prepare 1-2 'canned' responses to "how are you" or "what was wrong". People probably DO care, but, don't want to tread on toes, and, really, some people are so busy/caught up in their own lives they might not really have noticed.
Some people will take their cues from you, so, I would try to come up with a couple of things that sound natural, and slightly off-putting as to more questions, and maybe always respond with, "you know, I am glad to be back! Now isn't that just crazy?" That sounds like a question, and can allow the conversation to drift from you to them, and what sort of stuff has been going on.
Good luck.
Not silly at all, Jenn, but I know that you'll be fine plus you'll have that 'family' connection again. Best wishes for a great first day back on the job.![]()
Blessings,

I bet you will get a warm welcome. Some children that you thought never knew you existed will probably be glad to see you. Sometimes we touch the lives of children without even realizing it.
You will do fine. And if you need to talk, email me and I'll make it a point to get on IM to talk with you.![]()
Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.
Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
