One little trick I’ve picked up over the years – especially for WFH people.

Set yourself up for tomorrow morning. It’s cold in this camper when I wake up at 5, so my hoodie and pants are by my laptop. My phone goes here too. I wake up, turn off the alarm, and get started. It also serves as a reminder as to what you’re there to do. You don’t get up at 5 because it’s fun, you get up at 5 to get shit done so you can live your life. Notes, to-dos, goals, whatever. Set it up so you can just jump in.

I’m digging a hole in the ground because I miss playing Overwatch. How tf did I get here?

Ben (7) is playing Pokémon Unite for the first time. He’s never played or even heard of a MOBA.

Me: “you gotta watch the video I sent. Looks like you’re having fun but you are probably not helping your team.”

Seconds later “VICTORY! 73-7”

“Oh, never mind. Carry on.”

Money well spent!

Sweat, not debt

My favorite thing about Taos is that I’m one “c” away from tacos.

You can’t spell tacos without Taos, and I love both of them. Coincidence? I think not.

So erm, we’re talking about permanently affixing the camper to this spot and building a house around it.

It probably wouldn’t be our “forever home”, but it would be an inexpensive way to make living here during the winter possible. Maybe even (dare I say it) comfortable.
