I love the image of you wearing the housecoat for the "bacon cooking" portion of your day. I use an apron but sometimes I think I would like a lab coat like I used to teach in for more coverage. While it's still cooler I will try the house coat.
Your post did bring back memories of working like a person possessed while my son was asleep. He gave up the nap really early so they were challenging days but the best.
I still have the moto boots I bought then and they are a workhorse in my wardrobe after 10 years. Look forward to the next installment cause you always look so "it girl" but entirely yourself.
