Cheering Up My Afternoon

Once I cleared my duties for this extra-curricular event, I decided not to go back to office and instead clear the mad accumulation of work at home. I would be more productive anyway.

The biggest reason, cold germs shouldn't be spread around in the office. But there're many meetings tomorrow, so I guess I might have to wear a mask.

I might as well enjoy this little quiet time of working from home. The team's entering the craziest months of the year. It's going to be a mad rush all the way till the end of the year. Wonder if we've bitten off more than we can chew. Now, I'm not certain if my earlier decision to take leave in December is wise because I'm effectively abandoning them and making others do my work.

I'm getting a headache looking through the spreadsheets of financial forecasts. UGH. Halfway through the emails and all this musing, the doorbell rang. There is magic in the air, I swear. A dessert angel was busy all morning and now, she delivers an apple pie to the door. It's piping hot- fresh out of the oven!!!

I can't believe what the eyes saw. A full round apple pie!!! Yay. I'm so thoroughly spoilt!

It's a private barter between the dessert angel and I. But yes, I accept your terms: pie = dress. Dammit. It's too easy to bribe me.

Emails can wait. Tea time! Mommy wanted a piece too. She merrily unwrapped the foil and brought out the cutter. Immediately, a slice of homebaked goodness was plonked on the table. Oooh. The crust has a touch of cheese in there. Lovely.
