Home Office
Dec. 18th, 2008 08:53 amAside from escaping the pool noise, the other big reason I was delighted to move into this townhouse was that it has three bedrooms -- or two bedrooms and an office. However, in the almost one year that I've lived here I haven't really used the office.
Today, however, the snow is coming down thick and fast, the schools are closed, MyCo is open, and I have a refugee sleeping on my couch. I've moved both my personal and work laptops to the office, dragged my office chair upstairs, and am now enjoying the novel sensation of actually working at the lovely desk that's been sitting there functioning as a horizontal space catch-all.
I'm not enthused about any of the work I have to do today, but I'm feeling good about this space -- which should help my overall mood considerably.

Doing Better
Dec. 18th, 2008 01:13 pmStill not happy about the snow. I have no idea when I'm going to be able to get off my hill safely. But my mood is far better than it was this morning.
I think I needed the catharsis of the breakdown to shake some stuff loose. Also, I had a couple of important meetings today that were very positive, and that's always nice. It's nice to feel like what I'm doing now makes a difference -- at least to the business. As opposed to delivering lunches.
Working in my office is also very nice. The light is better here than in my living room niche, and it's a more spacious environment.
I have another meeting in forty-five minutes. When it's over I think I'll take a nap.

Theological Statement
Dec. 18th, 2008 01:23 pmI don't post much about Christianity anymore. I still feel that my spiritual roots are there, that it's a huge part of what made me who I am today and continues to influence my spiritual life and choices, but it's no longer a faith or a practice with which I identify myself.
That said. . . I thought that this brief post by
malakhgabriel was worth quoting:
If Christianity is identified with those on the top instead of those on the bottom, then it fails at being Christianity.
