Its a stupid Tuesday
I woke up to the cries of baby which had diapers overloaded with pee. Too lazy to change them at the wee hours of morning, I tap her to sleep and wake up an hour later due to unbearable stink (not so surprising)
Whoever said that kids are a bliss definitely had none of their own. I imagine them to be in a party, passing their time playing with the kids and making funny faces but the moment little monsters start crying, they slip away from the crowd and take next round of drinks. Those are the ones who feel kids are adorable
But for new parents like me, they are the reason for your dark circles, the reason why you doze off in between calls, why you wake up smelling like pee and have stubs of their food stuck to your work wear
Its a day i'm working from home - partially because i woke up smelling awful! and the rest because i have a doc appointment
The right hand is giving me trouble. It hurts for me to type, hold or squeeze
The doc tells me "you should try limiting your work to non-computer based" and i'm staring at him - trying to find emotions in the poker face. I give a small nod
I return home and see a text from the husband. He's in the other end of the country helping his clients drive better trucks and buses. I remember the doctors advise and choose not to reply. There is a ping from my colleague at work - i refuse to respond.
There is a final ping from the online shopping website. Its a big billion day sale. I pick it up in my left hand and try scrolling through the endless pages (the problem is with right hand right?)
