Sarah, I have found that I miss my animals a lot since I moved out of my house into an office. If I don't have a lunch appointment, I am home, every day, to see them for a bit.

I worked at home for 5 years, and loved it the first 3 years. But when we moved, and I got married, the new setup was not as good for me. I think it was because more things did distract me, and not just the pets. For the first time, I worried about what was for dinner, had to leave to pick up Helen from school, whereas she could walk before, and worst of all, my office was in an extra bedroom across from our bedroom! At least before, it was in a room at the other end of the house.

My new situation is definitely better for me at this point in my life, but I still have the flexibility to do what I need to, personally, during the day. But I sure do miss a cat in my lap and a dog at my feet! And my customers miss the constant chatter of my birds, believe it or not!
