The day sped by as they unpacked box after box. Bill woke around three in the morning, from the cries of their daughter, Evy. Her fever spiked to one hundred and two point six. After her medicine, diaper change, and goodnight kiss, he decided to do some work in the living room.
For the first time all day, he was able to put his feet up and focus on the art for the new ad campaign. Although the mess on the table next to him beckoned for his attention, as the image loaded he drifted off to sleep.
Great description of someone really exhausted and under pressure to meet a deadline. Hope Evy gets better.
Nice desription of the two worlds: parent and worker bee.
That sounds familiar! Work-life balance can be tricky 😉
Dear Cole,
A well written slice in the day of the life.
shalom,
Rochelle
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across Evy’s head….
Nice day in the life.
Aloha,
Doug
It’s easy to doze off after hectic days like that! Good story 🙂
Dear Cole, Nice story and well done. Moving day is hectic enough without the additional load of a sick child and a deadline to meet. Good job! Nan 🙂
Cole, That was one hectic day. Poor man. Well-written story. 🙂 —Susan
