I am exhausted. I can't wait to put my feet up. Work was hectic today and I didn't even get to take my break. Despite the fact that I have a banging headache, I wouldn't trade my career for anything. I mean, you have to make money if you want to sustain your way of living; whether it's living in a small apartment and having a regular car or living in the hills in a big mansion and having the latest sports car.
I don't think I would be able to work two jobs and I pray I never get into a financial difficulty that will require me to do so.
I didn't have a chance to talk to August either. When he called me around noon, I couldn't answer the phone because I was in a patient's room and I got swamped after that. I called him after I got off from work at 7, but he was probably busy since he didn't pick up. I can't deny that I missed him all day.
"Reese, did you miss me today? Don't worry. I'm going to buy you some new toys and take you to a dog park this week." I petted his head as he laid across my lap. I came home and immediately got out of my scrubs. I took a shower and then made a bowl of popcorn for myself. I didn't feel sleepy, so I'm now in the living room in front of the tv. There's nothing really on, but I finally settled on a movie on the FX Movie Channel.

I have a confession to make; I have a sweet tooth. I love adding caramel syrup to my coffee and popcorn, and eating ice cream, chocolate bars, cheesecake, cookies, brownies, and Reese's Butter Cups. I'm not a doughnut person though.
I decided to check what was trending on Twitter, while I waited for the 10 minutes to pass for the movie to start. I heard a knock at the door and I scrunched up my face.
Uh uh, who's crazy enough to come here this late? I don't entertain guests at this time when my legs are ashy, my face bares no makeup, and my head is covered by a bonnet. Teyana went to support Iman at his game against the Raptors. She invited me, but I'm more of a football fan. Even if it was her, she has a key; unless she lost it but I doubt that would happen because she's so organized. I gave Reese a treat before getting up to check who was at the door.
I looked through the peephole, but I could only see the side of the person's head. He was wearing a baseball cap and had a bag in his hand. Maybe it's a special delivery being made to me from August. That man is full of surprises. I opened the door and I couldn't believe who I saw.
"Surprise!" August was standing there with a bag of Poyeyes and a bottle of Hennessey. I jumped into his arms, nearly knocking him down. I'm sorry, but I couldn't hold my excitement.
