I’ve been training for the new job in the mornings, which means I’ve been spending a few afternoons testing my new skills at home. Hopefully I’ll be full-time at home soon so that I can free up two hours a day by ditching my commute.
***Dear Dad, I don’t know how you commuted for more than two hours each day for all those years we lived in GA. Thanks for that. I would have gone bonkers!
So far, I can say that working from home doesn’t make the day go by faster. However, there are some perks, such as working on my posture and balance.
And spending more time with my girls. Leia in particular is extra interested in everything I’m doing. (Really, don’t mind her sleepy eyes. I promise she didn’t pass out on the keyboard.)
Yup, it’s kind of like this but with more work and less leisure.

I don’t crack any beers before Kevin gets home from work, so this thirsty Thursday post is highlighting a couple brews I tried last weekend. First up is Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot (WTF) Ale. The brewery creatively labeled it as “A Malty, Robust Jobless Recovery Ale.”
Robust is right. This is a full-bodied American ale bursting with flavor. There’s hop, malt, and a little bitter of awesome. Due to the slightly high alcohol content (7.8ABV), I probably wouldn’t order this in a bar or restaurant. However, it was perfect to share with the hubby at home last Friday night.
It was a perfect appetizer for the brats we had for dinner, so I’d say this one’s a win. Of course, this doesn’t surprise me. I respect most everything that comes out of Lagunitas, and I’d already read Kelli’s rave review.
