I never thought I'd truly miss working, but I do. I miss the social interaction and I miss creating something beautiful for people to enjoy as dessert. I miss feeling useful and feeling like I have a purpose. People say "you do have a purpose, your purpose is to get better." Can I just tell you that things like that kind of make me want to hit you? I wouldn't hit you hard and I wouldn't hit you in the head but I think that a little bruise might make you think twice about being so condescending and I know it would make it easier for me to withstand whatever "helpful" thing you are about to spout off. I know people are trying to help and nobody knows what to do for me to help me get through - just be there. Tell me what is going on in your life and help me to feel like I am still a part of things...
