I'm still loving working from home, even though my work and personal life are extremely mixed together. If I keep all my balls in the air, I can work according to my weird circadian rhythms. By nature of the work I do, I still go out a lot, so that's helpful.

It's nice that I don't have to really report to anyone as long as I hit my deadlines, but I don't really make any money, so there's the tradeoff, heh.

I also use my cell phone exclusively, and work from home. Sometimes there are technical difficulties, but, eh. We haven't had a land line since we moved to New Orleans. Had Vonage for maybe a year, but we never used it, so then we just switched to cell phones.

The next few months are the best months to buy because people don't want to move in the dead of winter and potentially pull their kids out of school in the middle of the year. Right now is not forever.

Yes, this.

Fwiw, I haven't had a land line in about 10 years and my husband works from home and we have no issues. (But if I still had the land line from when I was a kid I'd consider keeping it because I'm sentimental like that.)

Burrell, I don't get why you can't cancel it.

Ah ha ha ha! So turns out we got pretty far along on the plan to switch to cell phone, but then AT&T anticipated our every feint. They were all "no go" until finally the gal helping Cody said something like "I think your best bet is AT&T Go, but they'll charge you an extra $50 for that."

Me: Not for another several years. Trust me.

Heh. When I got Emmett to watch it (pitching it as "a cross between Breaking Bad and Lord of the Rings!") I had him review the things he's most repulsed and freaked out by.

Me: So, it's a really good show and you'll like it BUT it does have some disturbing elements. Remind of the four things that freak you out.
Emmett: Zombies, pedophilia, incest and necrophilia.
Me: Okay, it's got three of those. Not so much necrophilia but you never know.

I feel this, too. I really thought that working from home would make it *easier* to get to the gym than when I worked in an office, because I can (in theory) go anytime. But instead, I Just. Keep. Working. and then it's too late/I'm too hungry/whatever.

Yes, all of the above. I often find it oddly easier to work out while traveling. But at the same time, so very glad to not have a commute.

JFC, you guys -- the South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade finally let some gay groups march this year.... so the Knights of Columbus are staying home to pray instead.

In other acronym-worth news, OMG and WTF, I'm 90% sure I just saw a skunk going under my porch. Which does explain why I thought I smelled skunk spray one night, and also the animal poop in the driveway that looked too big for a cat. But now what?

Send the skunk to the Knights of Columbus?

You need a porch cat like Nanita's.

Also that's awesome about the parade.
