10/26: unusual afternoon

I came home early today because Chris wasn't feeling well and I wanted to be around in case he needed anything or got worse. I brought home some work to do, but I also had time to make a big pot of chili for dinner and even take a short nap! It felt so quiet here. It was probably no quieter than it usually is when we're home (on weekends, for instance), but it felt more quiet today because I'm used to being at school on weekdays. The contrast between the bustle of the office and the calm of home seemed especially marked (and was especially appreciated).
