I spent almost all of today, except for a brief hour when I ran to the bank and grabbed a bite for lunch — okay, and watched an episode of That Mitchell and Webb Look while I ate — in the backyard, working on my laptop. It was a spectacularly sunny day, and I took full advantage of my new ability to work from home once a week.
I may have gotten a little too much sun, despite the patio umbrella I had up, but I suppose it’s all to the good. My doctor did tell me yesterday that I have a vitamin D deficiency. (Winter followed immediately by a week stuck at home with pneumonia could be contributing factors there.) I didn’t get sunburned, but I did get a little color sitting out back all day.
Honestly, it’s going to be a little hard going back to the regular office tomorrow.
Sounds like a bit of sun did you some good – it’s been a long winter, and sometimes a dose of sunshine is just what you need to help turn the corner when you’ve been sick (even if you were technically working). That work from home plan sounds like it’s going to be a definite perk!
