Are you feeling a bit edgy lately? I know I am.

by Katie Oberlin

What Happened? I stepped away for a week’s vacation and when I returned home everything seemed different. Transitioning back from vacation is always an adjustment, but I had the strange sense I had stepped into a shifted reality. Simply communicating with others was challenging.
