Day five

It has been a while since I got out of bed because wanted, not needed. What an unexpected pleasure for this morning person. Want to sleep past 6am? Horses won’t be upset til 7.30 latest. This is doable. Doesn’t happen, this sleeping in, but the idea that it can is delightful.

There are other perks to self employment. As mentioned, not a “jammie” person, however routinely a shower person. When you sleep with a dog, or sometimes don’t get sleep with two dogs, the thought of smelling like one, or two appalled. For the good of my co-workers, morning showers were routine. Now, my co-workers, hopefully you switched to my FB page for selfemployedagain to see, smell like dogs and don’t care a sniff. No worries world, on venture off the farm days, shower.

Another big plus, this is gross, you may want to skip this paragraph. Most of my work was done in the back of the warehouse. The sample room was affectionately called “the cave” as it was under the mezzanine. Warehouses are inherently dirty, dusty and filled with cardboard dust, as well as a myriad of other particles. So the grossness is/now was, that when my nose needed to clear itself, it was relieving my body of grey matter. Not my brain grey matter, at least one can hope. News flash. This morning clean and as pure as snot can be. Told you this was a gross subject. However, mud season is upon us so one must appreciate clean snot while one can. Dogs and horses are shedding and muddy.

YOU MAY NOW QUIT SCROLLING DOWN.

To end this post on a less “Ewwwie” note. Weekends no longer matter. Should it make sense and work with my schedule to work on Saturday and not Monday, that is a viable choice. Work from 7am to 2pm, again, my choice. Many of my CT friends are self employed. Now, with laptop slung over my shoulder and I can travel anywhere, even CT and work. Being laid off, for right now, has given me freedom, less stress, a dream come true. AH but in a future post we shall get into the scary world of finances. For now, taking a deep breath, heading to our local bakery, and into Boston to see my son and grandson. Life is amazing!
