THAT explains it! Sometimes I am so eager to get into my office I hop out of
bed, grab some clothes, and dress while I'm walking to the office. Sometimes
I get there and start working before being fully dressed. (Good thing my
office is in my home.) And if it's early, I may wish I was back in my
still-warm bed. Ah, the joys of 'both'.
LOL! Thanks.
