my new laundromat

So, I'm using all natural light, sitting in a comfy chair in a spacious kitchen, listening to classical music all while my laundry is washing and drying. I'm playing with my new computer of course. Plus, I got taken out to eat. I'm at my aunt's house! And all I bring to the table is: company.

My aunt has moved her office to her house, and she misses people. She says it's harder to get work done. I told her found that to be true in grad school. People are a built in security system when it comes to procrastination. When my roommate is home, I may not be working on the most pressing task, but I'm forced into doing something. But my roommate is dog sitting this week, which has been very relaxing. I've done a lot of reading and journaling. The type of work that's filed under "ruminate"-- the kind of work that looks like slacking to the naked eye. But, I need this rumination to prepare for the new year. But, the quotidian tasks don't mysteriously disappear.

So, I'm getting my busy-bee work done at my aunt's. I'm doing laundry, making my TDLs, cleaning out my inboxes, and blogging about the work I'm supposed to be doing.
