((((tree)))) I am so glad that you have a T like that, who can help you so well when you go to the drifty place. He just sounds so special. As for how hard it is to come back, I know a bit about that, too, I seem to spend a lot of time 'away' sometimes, and to keep functioning, take care of kids, etc., when not fully present is hard.....I hope you did take the dog for a walk and have gotten more grounded by now!
