Revenge of the Sloth

I'm being a complete and utter sloth today. Egret must be rubbing off on me, since I've declined to leave the house all weekend. You'd think I had agoraphobia or something. I don't. I just like being home, which is mostly what I don't like about working for someone else. Generally, when I'm working, I get so much more done at home than I do in the office. Too many distractions. Yesterday, however, this was not such a good thing, since I spent way too much time in my chair, which isn't good for my pathetic back. So at least I'm doing a little housework today. I might even finish painting the doors in my bedroom, or at least put a coat on them. I bought the metallic paint I'll need for the living room, and a couple others I might use on the beams, so we'll try that out, too. And in between, I'll write a little.housework_moi

Egret

I left the state yesterday. You're on your own with the slothfulness, babe.
