Rainydays and Mondays

I am sure at least some of you have heard this song. And if the rainy Monday happens to be accompanied by a review meeting you can only imagine how sad it gets.

This is when I feel I would really rather be staying home with Anush. The standard excuses for it are:
Need to help pay the EMI
What a waste of a degree
Economic independence

It is fear - of a loss of self, a professional identity for myself. And maybe a little bit of all the above.

Why does life have to be about choices, all of which feel like a compromise? At least on rainy days and Mondays.

BTW, Another vaccine (injection) happened for Anush last Saturday. She did not cry at all. A brave girl I have !
