I'm Getting Too Much Work Done

Tai is starting to wean. For right now, that means he's nursing in the morning and at bedtime, but not throughout the day. So I no longer have to tote my pump to work and sit in a back room three times a day to get him milk to bring to daycare. And I no longer get to sit in a back room three times a day and read magazines for 15 minutes at a stretch.

I miss those little breaks.

Without those 15-minute interruptions I'm getting far too much work done this week. Maybe I should pretend I still need to pump and just go take a little cat nap back there once in a while. Or maybe I should take up smoking so I can take cigarette breaks. Actually, since it's about 5 degrees out today, outdoor breaks have little appeal.

So, here I sit. No pending home-purchase to fret over. No wedding to plan. No baby on the way. And no pumping breaks. What am I supposed to do? Work all day? Maybe Minh is right -- it's time to renovate the house.

There's always online shopping, right?

Sometimes they hold onto those morning and night feedings for a long time...
