I'm not getting paid to do the laundry

Okay, it's been way too long... I don't mean to neglect this blog. I've just had other things occupying my mind, and plus the amount of work (work as in my job) has increased. Now that I'm working from home full-time, there is more of a need to ensure that I fulfill my required 24 billable hours per week. As in, before, I would travel, and that would easily give me 8-12 hours of billable time. But now? My billable time is measured in the number of reports I can review in a given amount of time. And sometimes laundry distracts me. Or the need to pick up random pairs of male socks that are strewn about the house. I think taking off your socks and leaving them wherever you want must be a genetic thing, because both Urban Shaman and Il Tonino do that. Although the husband has gotten better about that ever since I once joked to him that the socks had a better sex life than we did because they seemed to reproduce like rabbits since I was finding them all over the house.

Anyway... today is Sunday and I need to do some work today. To get in a few more billable hours before I complete and submit my timesheet tomorrow. All in all this is not a bad thing, but I need to learn to leave the laundry alone sometimes (what? I like doing laundry!). And the socks.
