Life as usual

The kitchen’s a mess. People are saying “mom, I’m hungry.” There is laundry on the futon. I have no viruses on my PC. There are boxes in the living room from a couple of new computer components. There is more laundry to be done and Hayleigh needs a bath. Yup… life’s back to normal!

Poor Patrick’s back on the crutches. He was able to hobble a few days ago but pushed it too hard yesterday so he’s having a lot of pain in his knee again. Guess it’s a good thing he doesn’t have a long commute to work As of right now his usual 5 second trip is taking closer to 10 though. He has to take time to stretch his leg a bit before he moves.

Work in the article world is picking up again! A lot of webmasters are looking at a whole new marketing plan for 2009 and from what I’ve seen so far, most are doing a great job. I read a CNN article a couple of days ago about this woman getting scammed out of $200 in a “work at home” scam so I wrote up a quick article about scams and working from home. I included a couple of pictures of our home offices. Right now my “office” is in the living room so in my pic you can see part of the laundry basket in the corner !

And yes, that’s really my coffee cup; and it really is that big. Have you noticed the name of my blog yet? The picture on my desktop is a screen capture of the game I play, World of Warcraft, isn’t it pretty!

Patrick’s office area is a bit more complicated. He has 2 computers with three monitors. He uses 2 monitors for work and the third to watch tv or play a game while he’s not working.

He cleaned his monitors… after the picture

We’re considering building a garage with office space over it. A garage will allow us to unclutter our junk room and maybe turn that into a real, usable part of the house. The office space is pretty self-explanatory. We would like to eventually have our work spaces separate from our living space, but for now it works perfectly!
