I woke up to falling snow that didn’t quite stop until around midday. Then it started falling again and after it stopped, it began to rain. I was fortunate enough that the boss told me to work from home. While it spared me what would’ve been a horrendous commute, I sat here with my laptop working through the day. And it had to be one of those days when a disgruntled client decided to go to the top boss to voice a complaint, taking all of half an hour to tell me what they expected of us. The good thing was, it was a very calm and collected man on the other end instead of a screaming, crazy man which others end up talking to. We all stayed home so lunch and dinner were major productions also. So yes, I am tired.
But it was worth it just staying indoors and spending time with Angelo. Alan took advantage of the opportunity to just lay down and rest. There were moments when I wanted to shoo Angelo away, but I reminded myself it only took ten seconds to let him hug me and hug him back, while it would take a minute or more to ward his show of affection off. And what better way to get through a tiring day than to get a heartfelt hug and kiss.
Sometimes the simplest things mean the most.
