Oh, the pros of work-from-home! And here I sit, writing (typing, I mean) prose about it.

I\’ve already touched on such advantages as flex time and more time for cooking and meal prep. Another pro that I didn\’t think much about for several weeks is: less laundry!

For years, I\’ve had the habit of using the same riding blouse or jersey for two or three days in a row before changing it; especially in cool weather. Now that I\’m not going to work in the physical sense, I\’ll use the same non-ride blouse for two or three days, too..

It hardly matters if that blouse isn\’t exactly \”fresh\” by day three. There\’s nobody around to get offended.  \”Intimate apparel\” I change daily; socks, too. If riding in dirty shorts is a good way to get saddle sores, stiff, dirty socks are more likely to cause blisters.

Usually I wash cycling clothes by hand. One of these mini-washers would be nice to have; it would probably get my things cleaner with less effort.

An adjunct pro to working from home: I have a little more time to eat something between clocking out and getting down to the laundry. I can get the washing started a few minutes earlier, too; then afterwards I\’ll have a bit more time for blogs, social media, or whatever.

Other pros, which I may have mentioned: when I\’m working from home I can hear the birds singing! If I get hungry before a regular meal time, I can stop for a minute and prepare a healthful snack: cut an apple into wedges, or pull out a raw carrot.

And now, at least for the moment, I\’ll stop writing prose about pros.
