The cure for bad days

Recently we found out that Rebecca's job is being privatized. Today I find out my project at work is in jeopardy, and there is an implied threat of layoffs. Some co-workers were knocking off early and going to the pub. I mulled that over for a second, but decided to go home early instead.

Quinn got two new books today. When I walked in he held one up, looked at me and grunted. I couldn't help but smile. I read him the book and then hung out on the floor with him while he emptied the pantry for the 87th time. Later on he picked up the other new book and crawled across the floor with it for me to read to him.

That, and of course the loving support of Rebecca, is exactly what I'd hoped for when I opted for home over the pub.
