Working from home: Day 1

So today is the first day I’m officially working from home…or rather it’s my first week of working from home. I’m not sure I’m doing too well. It could be that it’s gorgeous out, or it could be that I’m exhausted from a fantastic All Hallow’s Eve with Leah: see attached pics. We were fabulous!!

Regardless, I have zero motivation today. Mondays and I were never very compatible. I’m glad to see that’s still the case. I’m also very happy that I no longer have Sunday night dread. Now if I could just get to bed at a decent hour. Last night I watched Family Guy reruns, read the longest intro email from some guy on the harmful site (it was so long I almost fell asleep while reading it) and then tried to sleep while Gracie hogged the bed. Yes, the other day I gave in and let the pup sleep on a towel on the bed. The towel was supposed to keep the dog hair from getting all over the bed. It’s good in theory but not when I wake up to find her horizontally sprawled across the bed. However, it did explain why I was curled into a ball. And now I have to figure out how to get her off the bed and not hurt her feelings…and yes, I realize how that sounds.

Hmm, I really got off topic. Anyway right now I’m at my neighborhood Dunn Bros for coffee. Unfortunately the cute guy isn’t working today. Boo. Tomorrow I get to vote, but really I get relief from all the damn political ads. I think the words “ad nauseum” came from political ads. I will be SO happy when the election is over. Oh, and here’s a question: Obama is planning a victory rally with 65,000 people in Chicago. What happens if he doesn’t win? And please note, I said “if” he doesn’t win, not “when” he doesn’t. My prediction goes to him, but really I figure no matter who we get for President it’s all a big crapshoot if they can actually do anything to fix the country.

That said, I shall go back to my coffee and my What Not To Wear outfit of loungey clothes and a sweater coat – thanks, Gap! If I can make it through one more hour of work – actual work, not blog work – then G Lou and I will hit the dog park.

Happy voting!
