When he proposed we adjourn, a collective sigh went up. It was late, and we had been stuck in one meeting followed by another. We were happy to be done and ready to go home.
I hung up the phone and walked out of the study.
Even the dogs were glad. When I appeared in the doorway, there was much celebration.
There was running from bedroom to kitchen to living room to study. There was tossing of toys. There was skidding around corners and sliding under couches. There was barking and jumping and turning in circles. There was running thru the doggie door out into the light of day.
All because the meeting was done. And because the workday was over.
