While the sickly smaller little napped restlessly upstairs yesterday, I sat in the kitchen beside french doors. The sun cascaded through, bathing my toes in warmth. Perched on a chair at the table's end, my fingers pranced from key to key as email after email took shape. As new messages popped up, I peeked at content. One conversation between a school secretary and her coworkers diverted my attention like a neon "They're hot!" sign flashing in front of a Krispy Kreme donut shop.
