Back in the office after five days off, with a smile on my face because of:

1. A thoughtful first-thing email from an old friend
2. A big piece of work sent off, finally
3. Stomach butterflies for a lunch meeting I know is important
4. Sneakers in my bag for boxing post-work
5. Dili sunshine and a $2 taxi
6. A new purple top
7. Permission to assert myself this week
8. The QANTAS website open
9. “Have you left anything?” “No” “Was that your phone charger?”
10. This off my chest
