I am recovering from my cold. I don't like being sick and I don't like to spend a lot of time and energy talking about it but this cold really had me down for a couple of days. I definitely would have called in sick if I had anywhere to call in to.

I still have the symptoms but I have more energy today. I realize that I have gotten out of the habit of eating fruit. I love fresh fruit and used to eat plenty when we had it in abundance from the CSA, but now that I have to buy it, I tend to save it for the rest of the family. How pathetic is that? I went shopping today and stocked up, in a big way, lots of yummy juicy things. Although I have to say, I got precious little of the two delicious papayas I was looking forward to. They disappeared while I was cutting them up.

The weather has finally caught up with the calendar. Today was still cold, but somehow, you just knew, it was a cold spring day instead of a winter day. Tomorrow temperatures are supposed to climb into the sixties.

It appears I will be joining the ranks of working parents again, although on a very part-time basis. I will be working on the same project, but for the client directly instead of the agency. They are still working out the practical details, but I hope to get back to it soon.

I should be able to get most of my work done while the children are in school with chores and stuff on weekends. I have done that kind of thing for the past six years and know the ups and downs. I am glad my interlude as a full-time parent is coming to an end. It is great that I got certain long-overdue chores accomplished, and I can see, how the house would be a lot cleaner and nicer if I devoted more time to it. But I was definitely not the happiest person this winter. I appreciate and enjoy certain aspects of homemaking, but I definitely need something else to keep me challenged and stimulated. I feel very fortunate that I am able to work from home, with a lot of freedom and little work-related stress.

I expect to be blogging more, actually, since I will have more focused time at the computer.  9:47:29 PM
