The days when I happily sprung out of bed before the sun had rose to raise off and feed bawling calves or exercise racehorses are long gone. Oh, and the pumping gas - do you remember my days at the gas station.
I do have very happy memories of those days (except the gas station!) but no great desire to do it all again.
No, nowadays - I do still spring out of bed before the sun is up - but it is to light the fire, make myself a cup of coffee and wander into my "office" to see what has happened overnight to my two website.
These are a couple of my "work colleagues"! As soon as it is daylight, I race out in my pj's and let the young dogs out of their kennels. Needless to say they are all very happy to come in and help.
You'll remember I was always a "stat-fan" - haven't changed a bit. The pulse still quickens if an extra person or two has visited. The Probiotic site gets about 1500 visitors a day, but the Charm site is just a baby in comparison and gets only about 30 or so visitors.
I've no doubt the Charm site will grow - it isn't getting much of my attention at the moment. You'll remember that the hubby had back surgery and was left with foot drop as a result so I'm proud to say that we now get the bulk of our income from my website endeavors. I'm concentrating on where the money is until we are clearly supporting ourselves adequately.
At the moment we are supporting ourselves - so long as we don't have an emergency!!
You'll note I have not lost my love of the exclamation. Such a useful punctuation mark.
So, yes I do love what I do. Winter is almost upon us and I know that I will be tucked up snug and warm, beavering away on my websites, helped by my trusty companions.

Dawn, I'm glad you're getting good traffic to your sites. It's so good to see you blogging again.
It's good to be back and catching up with everyone.
I hope to work at home before too much longer, but I won't be springing out of bed: Not a Morning Person. Crawling sluggishly out and drifting vaguely towards the coffee pot is more my style.

So long as there is coffee involved I'm happy.
Dawn - I'm a morning person, too, but because of my own back troubles, not exactly a bouncer! :)
Love seeing your workplace AND your workplace companions! It appears they have a similar attitude to office work as some of the folk I have worked with over the years.....
but I'm willing to bet that your workplace companions would be springing into action if "work" was outside!
Show them a rabbit and they're gone!
I'm glad you're enjoying working from home, and that your sites are doing well! It's lovely to have you back on the Blogosphere. :)
