Working from Home
I'm back in my virtual office for awhile, and I love it, but I am also very unused to the short commute. I don't think I've been particularly productive the past couple of weeks, but I figure it's balancing out all the crazy from the earlier parts of the year. I keep making piles of things and putting them away and making piles and dealing with them, lather, rinse, repeat.
Today though - urgh. I finally have been in the house long enough to notice all the cobwebs. Now, I notice cobwebs all the time. And I deal with the ones I can reach usually as soon as I notice them. And DH deals with the cleaning on a regular basis, so it's not like the Munsters live here or anything. But today, even though I watched DH attacking several cobwebs, I was surprised to find myself noticing them everywhere. My office for sure because it's been getting minimal use, and therefore requiring minimal regularly scheduled cleaning. But the bookshelves in the stairwell, and above the headboard, on the ceiling in nearly every corner, draped across lamps and ceiling fixtures and shelves, and in the toekicks of the bathrooms and kitchen. They're not like the seasonal decorations that everyone else is taking down right now. You have to really look at them to see them. But once seen, they can't be unseen, yannow?
I'm just "what? where? buhh?" about the whole thing. I need a ginormous duster with a telescoping handle and about half a day I think to banish them all. And you know what will happen then? They will COME BACK.
In other news, I tried to kickstart my daily yoga practice back in September, and that didn't turn into so much of a daily thing, but I've also started walking the dogs (one at a time unless I have help) and playing on the Wii again, and yesterday was the first of 6 weekly East Coast Swing classes that DH and I are taking together. So even though I'm still not up to daily anything, I'm doing more things more often. I think this is a good time of year for it too - keeping the blood moving through the dark season should keep me warmer and more alive.
