Distractions

This is the cutest cat in the world. Yeah, yeah, you're protesting that YOU have the world's cutest cat but, well, you are wrong. Pooh has perfected the precious belly flops, the playful batting as you walk by, the heart melting leg pat when she needs some love. In our 13 years together she knows what works.

Along with being the world's cutest cat she is also the number one offender in the crime of distraction. I love working from home. If I could only leave my home to play in the woods and then come home again I would be supremely happy. However, working from home takes an amazing amount of concentration.

My neighbor and I were visiting recently. He is a writer and worked from home up until a year or so ago when he took a job working with the museum on the expansion. That job is coming to an end. I asked if he would be back home working freelance again. He wasn't sure. Why? He explained that working from home is often fraught with distraction. Amen brother.

I'll just throw in a load of laundry. Oh, let me unload the dishwasher real quick. Look at Beezil's pleading eyes, ok, a quick walk. While I am outside I might as well......you see where it goes.

So put those gorgeous hound dogs eyes away from me. Quit mewing 'love me'. Housework, listen up...I don't hear you! Now, if I could just get off this computer!
