Is a Home Office Better?
My spring cleaning binge at the office on Saturday was in preparation for the seminar, workshop and course I have been planning. Last week however, my enthusiasm and promotional efforts were cooled when there was talk of turning these upstairs rooms into apartments for extra income for the mission. I could always work from home (and that prospect began to appeal to me more and more), however, then I would not have a place for classes.
We have a mission Board meeting tonight, however, I think that issue is laid to rest already. Only the hesitation and delay means I have only about a week and a half to drum up some commitments to come to my seminar on Saturday, May 8, and the workshop on May 15.
You saw the descriptions of them right here last week, right? Remember, if you’d like to come, the one on May 8 is from 9 am to 12 noon and is free. But I need to know how many are coming to round up enough chairs.
I feel a bit torn. I’m willing to teach, even up to giving up two afternoons a week for classes to accommodate one students whose family will be moving away in July. However, if all this does not come to pass, I will be content.
That will mean I can focus more on my own web business sites, and my garden. I have not had time yet to rake the handkerchief sized lawn in the front, nor the spring clean up of the back yard. When Joe, my neighbour is able to borrow a rotor tiller and go through my garden I will want to sow my garden. Fortunately, that is something I can do in short spurts of a half hour at a time over a week or two.
Hmm…. this gets me daydreaming. If I worked from home I could pinch off a half hour at noon to do some yard or garden work. That would get me out into the sunshine. I would gain my walking time too, but then I’d have to go for deliberate walks to keep up my physical exercise. Ah, but I used to go for prayer walks before breakfast back in Hague. I could do that again. Maybe working from home is not such a dumb idea at all. - I would have to guard my office hours though!
(Sigh) I have committed to these May Saturday sessions and I will see how it turns out.
At the very least I now believe it is wise to take a nap when tired.
