The more I work from home, the more perks I discover. There are the obvious perks – working naked, rolling out of bed and stumbling to your computer, taking breaks to play with the cats – but I’ve been enjoying some other things as well. Deciding what to have for lunch each day is no longer a chore; we usually have food in the house and if not I can zip out to grab something in the neighbourhood. There’s always Diet Coke and ice here, too. I can listen to anything I like at any volume; I don’t have to answer the phone or deal with other people’s quirks; the atmosphere is a good deal less chilly here than it is at the Space Station. Each day is a new adventure.

Take today, for example. I am wearing a Saran Wrap hat. I decided to take a break and henna my head again, so I mixed up the goo and added some spices and slopped it all on my head. The Saran Wrap – which I am rocking, by the way – it keeping things nice and warm, and soon I will go rinse it all off my head and see how orange I will be for the remainder of August. It is good times. I am loving the flexibility that comes with being able to wear a Saran Wrap Hat while working.

The Eternal SUV was towed away this morning, too. Hooray! Now, if I could just stop freaking out every time my eye itches, I would be a happy duck.
