the trouble with working at home

It's just after noon. Since 9 AM, I've packaged three spindles for shipping, glued together and applied the first coat of finish to three more, rubbed (with steel wool) and recoated three others, put in two loads of laundry, cleaned the livingroom carpet, responded to email and Etsy convos, let the dogs out several times, emptied the dishwasher and sketched out some potential new whorl designs.

I'm still in my pajamas. Oops.

Now, I need to go open and adjust hooks and stain three square-whorled spindles. And mop the kitchen floor.
