I don't know if I have shared this or not, but the big news at Chez Ragged is that Cynical is now working from home. It's been in the works for quite a while and even though we never anticipated that things would move along this quickly, but we learned last week that effective Monday, he'd be working it all out in the homestead. Our Sunday afternoon was spent in a flurry of activity all designed to get a work space established for him.
And I am happy for him. I truly am. I am also green with envy. This morning as I left, all coiffed and prepped for work, seeing him standing there in lounging pants and a t-shirt was more than I could handle. Realizing that he'd get to watch Knitty Gritty live and not on "tape delay" (if he so chose) simply put me over the edge.
The jealousy turned to pure angst when it occurred to me that he'd be there to receive the good mail personally. Blech. . . and I am here at work, in my work-related attired, where my only happiness is e-mail from my buddies and the fact that sometimes I slip my shoes off under my desk where no one can see, as if I am really getting by with something.
Above is a shot of the bunny that we repeatedly harrassed at the Fiber Festival last weekend. I love the bunny because his nose never stops twitching.

Speaking from my past experience, working from home is da bomb! But it can be a challenge if one is not good at disciplining one's self. It is so tempting to watch just one more nitty gritty, or just put that one load of clothes in to wash or take just one more short coffee break or stroll into the yard to pick up that one little limb on the sidewalk or ....
But absolutely, working in t-shirt and lounge pants is the best. Congrats to him, and condolences to you, dear Ragged.
BTW, that bunny is very cute!
