I got to work today at five o'clock and was told to go home as soon as I walked in the door. I hesitated for a second, then turned and ran before my manager could change her mind. It's really icy and cold out, so I guess she just assumed we weren't going to get too busy. I was so glad to come home, because today wasn't anything like how the past week has been.
I feel a little guilty admitting it, but there have been two or three days in the past seven months when putting on that tie and going across the parking lot to The Olive Garden was like taking a vacation. But not tonight. Tonight, I came home to this:
Okay, I couldn't get a good smile on camera, but trust me, they were there, and the smiles he had for me today have made me even happier than they usually do after these last few days of his grumping around. Maybe I'll get a double surprise: the night off AND Mase sleeping through the night.
Well, I guess that's asking a little much. I'll be unbelievably happy if he stays asleep 'til midnight.
