I worked from home a couple of days this week and I rather like it.  I wake up and get on the computer after having my breakfast shake (of all these raw organic fruits, veggies, and vita-veta-vegimens) and I just come to my desk and I do this little ritual.

I check my work then personal email.  Take anywhere from 10-20 minutes cleaning it up or responding.  I don’t like my email to get all backed up.  Then I grab my list of things to do and start working on it.  After a couple of hours of sitting down and working with photoshop, I get a bit tired and I go and take a shower and find something comfy to wear around the house.  I spent the day today wearing black yoga pants and my favorite oversized cypress hill tshirt I got back in 2002!  I work for a couple of more hours.  Tweaking this and that whilst listening my tuneage nice and loud!

I’ve come to the conclusion that Bach totally tunes me into my inner creativity and keeps me going and working like no other.  Isn’t it odd how there’s that one type of music that completely keeps you focused?  I love that!

To break up the monotony, I’ll leave and go grab lunch.  I could easily make me something here, but I have to get out for at least 30 minutes just so I don’t get to feeling all cooped up.  It kind of helps me too if I hit a mental block.  Then I’ll come back and before I know it I look at the clock and it’s almost 5.

It’s pretty awesome!  I like it, a lot actually.  I like that I have the freedom to work from home if I want too.  I think creatives need this option.

Quick update on the whole bank thing.  I have yet to see them put my money back.  Tomorrow will be business day numero cinco. . so I’m hoping (crossing my fingers) I see some positives in the account.  Tired of the negatives!   One thing I did find out was that due to the fact that this was done through my visa check card, I have to wait 45-90 days until the investigation is over to get a new visa check card.  That totally bites.  I’ll only have a debit card and I’ll most likely have to carry around my dusty old checkbook!  I’ll have to pay all my stuff through checks too.  Sucks so much arse!  Not happy about that.

On the diet front.  Things seem to be going well.  I’ve lost some pounds and I’m starting to like how the jeans are fitting in the posterior.  I have a lot more to go and I’m pretty stoked about starting at this new gym that seems to fit what I’m really looking for in a gym.

The hard part, is the food.  I feel like my eyes gawk at “bad” food the way guys gawk at porn.  FOOD PORN! AAH! That’s exactly what it is. . .FOOD PORNO!  It’s past the “eye candy” category!  As much as my  “mind” misses the food, my body is doing great without it.  I’m sure it gets way easier with time, but it isn’t a walk in the park.

I do end up finding really cool foods though.  Just because it’s good for you doesn’t mean it has to taste crappy.  You can always eat the stuff you like, you just can’t break your jean inseams doing it.  I did find something really cool this week that I thought I’d share because I bet you guys didn’t know that there’s a ONE CARB HEINZ KETCHUP!  How cool huh?  It isn’t that crappy hunts crap either.  It’s the good stuff! Kudos to Heinz for that one!

So any recommends on the food category would be stupendous.
