I have recently made a career change and I am now “working” from home. Not a bad gig when everyone else is at work or school – gets a little difficult as soon as there is another body in the house because you are never really doing anything that important to them so they interrupt you for silly things – like who is cooking dinner.
I have discovered that some other bodies are encroaching on my work space and making it difficult to work. They are silent distractions, ever so coy yet so powerful. As I stop and turn around to ponder a new angle on a project I see this…..
It is very difficult to hear the dog snoring so
so deeply – and when she is dreaming and running
it becomes even more entertaining….and
distracting. As for the cat, she knows she is
cute and plays it for what is worth.
So I decide to take a break. Get a drink. Pet the cat. Get more wood on the fire. I am greeted by another body sending me a message….. How am I supposed to work when the message is clearly “time for a nap!” I actually poked the cat to make sure she was still alive because she was so hot to my touch. Oh well, if you can’t beat them – join them!
