I didn't take Benson to daycare today. I was too tired. So I worked from home, had calls all day, and he napped in the sun.

We took a walk around 2.15, stopping for an iced horchata latte, and I chatted with a nice man who admired Benson and showed me pictures of his grandson hanging out with his pittie.

After work, I fixed a cocktail and changed into a caftan to lay out on the couch. Benson came up to me, climbed on the couch and laid his whole weight on me and belched in my face while I struggled to sit up.

This goofball. He looked at me with big eyes and laid his head on my chest while I scratched his scruff.

He's sleeping now and making little bark noises under his breath while the neighbors across the courtyard have game night.

It's the simple things.

Some interesting stats in this article. How much has COVID and other factors influenced our perception of work-life #balance
- "some data indicates it’s much easier for white men to secure funding: one 2019 report showed women-led start-ups as well as those led by minority founders"
- "After several years of trending upwards, employee engagement in the US saw its first annual decline in a decade"

印度人可以豪邁的說出這句話，我們的是什麼呢？
