It was a fun weekend. We had just the right balance of activity and rest. Saturday we hung out with my oldest sister and her family.. though their house did try to collapse on us. Saturday evening we celebrated our niece's graduation. Sunday we took a day-trip to Lake Geneva to visit the birthplace of Dungeons & Dragons— and see/hear/be attacked by lots of cicadas— and hunt for the Gary Gygax Memorial Brick before we finally got to visit the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum. Now it's Monday and it's time to go back to work... though it's not yet time to go home.
That's the beauty of working from home— which I now call working remotely. Once your work setup is portable you can work anywhere. All I need is a decent internet connection, relative quiet (since I'm on calls much of the day), and a desk to work at. (Note: using an ironing board as a desk doesn't cut it!)
Here's my remote office for the next 3 days. It's our hotel room a few miles from my sister's house. It's a Fairfield Inn & Suites, and it's pretty comfortable. This is one of their "& Suites" rooms. We're here a total of 5 nights, going home Wednesday evening.
