I am working from home now as of this week. It has been a mixed blessing.

I am a crazy morning person and I love being able to be at my computer by 6 working, when I feel I am at my most creative. And being able to take frequent breaks or run outside for a bit is fantastic as well.

However, I wasn’t prepared for how lonely being at home all day can become, and I have always prided myself on my independence. Putting on some jazz or talk radio in the background helps.

School starts at the end of this month and being in that environment a couple days a week will help. I’ll get all the human interaction I ever wanted, and then some.

Hoping to go see Avatar again this weekend, this time in IMAX, unless the snow and polar air expected force me to hibernate. So far, this has been the most wintry Winter since I first moved to NYC ten years ago. My 10 year anniversary in this amazing city was New Year’s Eve. I can’t believe I have been here that long. They say that after you’ve been here for 10 years, you are a real New Yorker, although I think the demands and trials of living here make you a native after just a few years. If you can make it 3 years, you’re good.
