I Could Get Used to This

6:30 – Alarm goes off. D turns it off, gets up to feed the dogs, have shower, eat breakfast and get ready for work.

6:34 – I go back to sleep.

8:12 – D wakes me up to kiss me good-bye when he leaves for work.

8:17 – I go back to sleep.

9:30 – Wake up, get out of bed, have a quick shower, put on clean sweats.

9:45 to 10:45 – Make coffee, play with dogs, drink coffee, check email, eat cereal outside on the deck in the sunshine.

10:45 to 11 – Download music.

11 to 3 – Work on first project for financial consulting company.

3 to 4:15 – Make and eat sandwich, watch part of Dr. Phil, take Bailey with me for 20 minute round-trip walk to get mail, check email again, check blog for comments.

4:15 to 7 – Work.

Amount of money I spent on gas today: $0.00

Amount of money I spent on lunch today: $0.00

Getting in 7 hours of productive work without having to put on real clothes, makeup or shoes: Priceless

    Donna, if you haven't changed the name of your blog from the Velvet Cage to the Gilded Cage in one month's time, I'll personally send you another pair of sweatpants! :)) Trust me, after a while Dr Phil, can sound very sanctimonious and you'll wonder why he hasn't seriously considered hair implants.

    Just kidding. Enjoy it! You deserve a break.

    That sounds like a divine day. I am very very envious. Especially after the hellish commute I had last night.... A commute from the bedroom to the upstairs office would be wonderful.

    I'd have gotten rid of the work thing. But that's just me. :oP

    Yay for enjoying your life! I hope you do get to get used to it! (And what music are you downloading these days?)

    You won't go back. Promise. I've been flying solo for 8 years - it's da bomb. And personally, I find I am way more productive. I work with minimum interruptions, office politics and sometime even in my knickers. Shhh, don't tell!

    Sounds like a wonderful way to work, Donna, I'm definitely jealous. Even though I only work 10 minutes from work, there's an awful lot of b.s. and wasted time, meetings, committees, etc.

    I'm thrilled for you, a teeny bit jealous of you, but absolutely thrilled for you.
