Routinely Unroutined

I used to have a pretty solid daily route to include general morning readiness (in a particular order), coffee, making the bed, packing lunch (well, at least sometimes), running 15 minutes late for work, driving 45 minutes to get there, "working", and driving 45 minutes to an hour home, eating something, TV, bed.  Every day for over ten years.  

Now, I'm not usually sure what day it even is.  I can usually get Monday through Friday, but it's actual dates that confound me.  Thankfully Steve Jobs knew I would have this problem and gave my iPhone the answer right on the front screen.  (He apparently also knew I'd have a little time to dedicate to drawing "Katniss" in Draw Something.)  For the most part, I can get out of bed at a generally routine time.  It's what happens after that's completely up in the air.  I always hit to loo (hehe) and brush my teeth, but sometimes I zombie walk into my home office and check email-Pinterest-Facebook-woot-checking account-nhl blogs-kikis list.  By the time I've made the rounds, it's 10am and my friend is IMing me to see if I'm wearing pants yet.  Clearly, there is no time for exercise at this point, and so I shower, put on my very cleanest sweats, finally remember coffee, and assemble some sort of breakfast-like meal.  Back to work, until I realize somehow my hair got wet and I break for a half blow-dry (my flat iron hasn't been turned on in weeks).  Then more working, IMing, surfing....and it's freaking 2pm and lunch is something I remember you eat in the middle of each day.  I eat something from my fridge, not a drive-thru, but only because I'm too lazy for all that going out of the house unless it's for a real event.  Like going to Target.  I put on some jeans (in case Jesus comes home early), and get back to work.  Then 5:30 rolls around and it's like I have another entire day spanned before me, and so I actually cook dinner.  And hang out with my neighbors in the day light, visit with my parents before 9pm, and actually accomplish things in the evening.  Who knew life could be like this? 

I've cooked tons of new dinners, finished home projects that have been lingering for months, and actually done some actual decorating 2+ years after moving in!  I've even successfully made myself exercise for two days in a row...

Working....from home

Since I only have six followers, I'm sure you all know that I'm currently working from home.  This isn't an entirely new thing for me, as I was able to work from home a lot at my previous job.  However, those were more like days to catch up without certain coffee-holding people standing in my doorway for hours on end or anyone asking me what they should get their wives for their birthdays or what time we're eating lunch.  

This is a new company, new position, new world of working from home.  While this company has been in existence for some time now, a few of us are starting up a new division so it's kind of a slow roll uphill.  There are days when I'm slammed and days when I cannot wait for some human interaction and nearly pounce on Jesus the second he walks in the door.  Don't get me wrong here.  I'm NOT complaining.  I know that once things really get going, I'm going to miss these days terribly. 

So, since I have a bit of extra time, I'm going to do my best to do better at posting.  I'm even going to figure out how to post some pictures, and probably even try to figure out how to make this page look like something other than an giant orange. I know you're excited now...
