For the first time in a month, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is back at work.
Clinton,
65, has a string of meetings lined up after weeks that included an
illness, a concussion after a fall, and a hospital stay because of a
blood clot in her head.
"She's looking forward to getting back to the office," State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said last week.
Clinton's schedule this week includes a meeting with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai.
The
former first lady will continue to work at the State Department until
her designated successor -- Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. -- is confirmed,
which is expected later this week.
Then starts more talk over
whether Clinton -- defeated in the 2008 Democratic primaries by Barack
Obama -- will seek the presidency again in 2016.
