Good Morning and welcome to Wednesday affectionately known as “Hump Day.”
The sun is shining, the sky is that beautiful perfect blue with just the odd wisp of white clouds.
Another work day here in just a little bit.
Oh, how I love this commute.
If I went from this computer to my work one it would be not even three steps, closer to 2.5.
How is that for a commute?
I know that I am very blessed to be able to work from home.
Even though there are days, well I should say moments that I could “scream” with my job, I am grateful for it.
I am quite certain that anyone with a job has those days.
I love being here for Alvin.
He follows me around the house from room to room.
I love that I have at a minimum 1.15 hours extra each day to enjoy with Alvin.
That is the difference when working from home.
If I was catching the bus it would 2.5 hours.
So this is a huge time to have at home.
Enjoy this time.
I know that I am.
I have more time to putz in my yard and thankfully it is now spring and soon summer.
I can go for two walks each day with Mr. Alvin.
Just more time to enjoy.
I am loving it.
This coming Sunday, I invited the girls over for coffee on the deck (instead of inside the garage).
10:00 a.m.
Hoping the weather would cooperate.
Please no wind and not like the gale force winds at our last coffee get together in the garage.
I was chatting with another friend and she said to enjoy this coming weekend (as I work and she thinks I work too hard) and what would I be doing with my daughter for Mother’s Day.
Whaaaat? I said.
Mother’s Day.
No.
“Yes”, she said.
I ran over to the calendar on the fridge and low and behold “Coffee with Girls @ 10:00 a.m.” and right underneath in fine print “Mother’s Day.”
Yikes.
I cannot believe that all three of us missed that it was Mother’s Day.
Isn’t that a typical Mother thing to do, forget your special Day.
Although everyday should be Mother’s Day.
As I said to my friend just that “Everyday is Mother’s Day for me.”
So after we hung up, I quickly texted the girls.
One of the two just realized the date as her husband mentioned something.
Coffee will be on the deck on Saturday at 10:00 a.m.
YAY.
Well my friends it is time to grab that cup of coffee and sign onto the computer and get to work.
I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would or could do my job from home.
95%, I can and the remainder we could likely find a way.
I wish you a sunny beautiful Wednesday.
Remember to breathe.
Life is always throwing us a curveball or two along the way.
This is just one of those.
So we do the best that we can.
We will get through this.
Hopefully when we do go back to work – we will fit all of our clothes.
I have not tried “button pants” as of late.
Perhaps they will be a thing of the past.
Not sure if that would be a good thing or not.
Okay, yes I am going.
Just so much to say.
Always, happens at the last.
Happy Wednesday.
With much kindness and so much respect for you.
I/We remain,
Always, Carol & Alvin
