The next several days were relatively calm compared to the hectic rush of my previous week. I finally took time to catch up with Rita, who had been pouting at me for abandoning her only to jump at me for 'juicy details' next moment, and with Panda, though with her we've met quite a lot in passing as it was. She worked for me, after all.
There were things to do, but nothing so urgent to push to do it now, now, now. With the stress of the past few days, I took that opportunity to push these not-so-urgent things away a little and just relax. Thoughts of an actual vacation even crossed my mind once or twice, but that was just unrealistic at the moment.
