Victorious weekender

As she sips on the milk chocolate dark ale, she can feel her taste buds wiggling in pleasure. A warmth feeling growing inside her chest.
She was not expecting the drink to be as nice. She was not expecting to get even a drink that day. It was offered. She did not refused it.
She had been behind her desk alone in the office snacking on crisps and digestive biscuits for hours. It was the weekend, she was there. Not expecting to see anyone familiar. She had left for a few minutes stretching her legs and slowly dragging herself back hoping to call for victory by finishing her to do list. She came back to find a full glass with ale handed in by another to be victorious weekender.
(Thank you)

I also wanted to work closed from home. Quetzal, a charity bas...

The bus commute from your work office to the confine of your living room took an hour. You are exhausted. Sitting down in front of the computer all day wore you out. You are starved. Your belly is rumbling. You need food it is a matter of survival. Hopefully, your level of organisation has paid off. You have food in the fridge. Thanks to your to-do-list called ''Get Ready For Work''. On Sunday, you prepared a week worth of dishes to keep you going. They are all in beautifully compact Tupperware you bought in your favourite or closest super shop.
