Long days, wide nights

It’s been a long week at work and home.
Let’s start with home — Kai was struck by some stom­ach bug that Hos­san says has been going around, because peo­ple in Medi­a­corp in their fortress on Calde­cott Hill have been falling over, throw­ing up and all that.
We’re usu­ally quite relaxed when Kai gets a cold or has the runs, but this week was the first time he’s actu­ally not wanted to play.
(Last year when he had dengue fever, he actu­ally put on weight in hos­pi­tal where he was warded for a week to receive blood platelet trans­fu­sions).
So it was with much relief and joy that he got his appetite for food and play back today. And it was so good to have him run at me to give me a hug after work today.
Don’t get me wrong, I really really enjoy work and the peo­ple I get to work with. But things hap­pen.
You know what? Let’s not get into work. I’ll just leave it at the hug my son gave me this evening.
