Sometimes, what you really need to do is mop the floor

You know what’s great about working from home?

NOT working when you’re supposed to be. Those 15-minute chat breaks that people take at work can be supplanted with getting the dishes done, doing a load of laundry, and/or sweeping and mopping the kitchen floor.

All of which I’ve done already today. Tiny bursts of domesticity interspersed with laser-like focus on projects for work equal one surprisingly productive day.

And it’s only 2 p.m.

Just go, and be glad it’s not you.

Are still being allowed to pelt adults with rubbish, however.

==============================

I'm going to figure out how to (in no particular order) carve a half-gnawed punkin (thanks, dog), make a pirate shirt, finish working, clean the house, rip out the mums out front that died two weeks after being planted, finish decorating for the Tiffoween party, and maybe commence to drankin' soon (because, let's not forget, I'm at HOME!).

Have a wonderful weekend folks, whatever your plans are.
