Today turned out to be a happy day. Schoolwork was light. I finished a lot of things that I needed to finish for the computation of grades (though I still have a long way to go).
I was able to leave work at 4:15! Our official time is from 7:15 - 4:15 but we seldom get to leave before 5. Sometimes we stay in school till 6, or 7, sometimes even 12 midnight! Well, anyway, that is why being able to go home early is such a big deal for me.
What made this a happy day was the fact that Ruel, Toots and I got to spend time with my parents, my sister, brother-in-law and my baby nephew, Emilio. Emilio is one month old today and this was enough cause for a small celebration.
My sister invited us to a simple dinner. She cooked pasta, ordered pizza and bought a Contis cake.

| He is always asleep when I see him. What I usually do is to say, "Emilio" in a loud sing-song voice which makes my mom (she helps my sister take care of him) put her index finger on her lips to silence me. They don't want him awake because he always looks for milk. But Aunt Claire can't be silenced! I always succeed in waking him up....and they always end up giving him milk after a few minutes. |
