I rolled out of bed today and fell on the floor. Good thing the bed is also the floor. I had to get up early today for my first full day back at work. Working remotely is even better than going to college, where I could get out of bed, put on some clothes, and get to class in like 15 minutes. Now I don't even have to get out of bed, I don't have to get dressed, and I don't have to go anywhere. But, I was still half asleep when I had a 7:00 meeting. Still, it wasn't too difficult to catch up on email and take care of the things I needed to and I feel like I got a lot done, possibly even more than I would have if I were physically at work. I don't know how I was able to sit in a camping chair with the laptop on my knees all day, awed by the view out of our window with the Space Needle and distant mountains, but once I get a desk, my productivity should triple. Or maybe not, but it will be nice to have a desk.

The nice thing about starting work by 7:00 local time (which is 9:00 back at the office) means that I get off before it gets dark here. Since Lesley really wanted Dr Pepper and there wasn't any at Whole Foods, we decided to walk to Safeway, since I'm trying to avoid driving as much as possible. After walking more than a mile up very steep hills and finding the Dr Pepper, we realized that there were other things we wanted to buy and didn't want to carry it all back with us. So, we walked back and stopped for some Asian food along the way - thank goodness they have Pei Wei here (just kidding, we went to some local Japanese place, which was pretty good). When we got back, we drove back to Safeway (though we forgot our reusable grocery bags), and bought Dr Pepper along with other groceries that we can use once we get our pots and pans back. I'm not sure what we'll do the rest of the night, but there's a lot of things we need to do.
