damn...nearly 8pm and still in my jammies

.....actually, i didn't wake up in them. i sleep au naturale. but i was in them asap after i woke up.

this morning i didn't hear the usual clang, clang, clang of the radiator. i was hoping i'd just missed it (not likely - it's LOUD) but by 7am i was sure it wasn't going to come. so i lie in bed a little longer and think "what if i actually had to get out of bed at a certain time?" That started my reflection on working from home. i mean, i can take my 5:30am calls from bed and where i go from there is very loose.

so it's FREEZING and.... i rush out of bed and into the coffee-themed long johns my sister got me for christmas several years ago. oh, and a curly fleece jacket i bought from campmor recently. and an fleece scarf for around my neck. socks and slippers of course. then under a blanket on the couch with my laptop. one of the few times i appreciated the heat put off by my laptop. but i'm still in my jammies now!! i made breakfast lunch and dinner in them!! yikes!!

this is my schedule. a mixed bag of blackberry in bed, laptops on the couch, speakerphones at the dinner table and an occasional stint at the desk. and everyday when i wake up i SWEAR my day will include a walk around the lake, but lately that has been harder than usual. too much work. but my biggest enemy: inertia. a body at rest remains at rest (or at least remains in a cozy apartment). damn! i am battling one of newton's laws of motion!!

yeah, lame excuse. ok - so i'll keep working at that. and i'll remember that when i need to throw in a load of laundry i need not wait until evening. that i can work from ANYWHERE actually. and everything will be ok. i will NOT be found one day with foot-long fingernails, surrounded by jars of urine.
