I have the benefit (? depends on who you ask) of working from an office and I bike to work, so there's some nice physical activity separating work from home. I don't like going over 40 hours a week at work, I'm pretty good about that. More time to threaten computers at home instead of at work.
It's get home, make dinner for myself and my wife, watch an episode of Deep Space Nine and talk about our days, then I go upstairs to be a monkey at a typewriter.
I disassembled the interior of a linen closet on Sunday and fixed a closet door latch, already met my home improvement quota for the week. The pile of dishes in the sink is an important part of my kitchen decor, so it stays. I have nothing else to do 😅
This hobby is like work, so it's productive. Doing productive things is good!
It's all about the reward at the end of the tunnel. It's all about telling myself the result will make the process worth it. It's all about forgetting the pain so I'll repeat the cycle.
It is winter, no grass. Does snow work?
You see, threatening computers at home recharges me. It prepares me to threaten computers at work. Breathes life into my veins and puts strong blood in my nostrils.
