Hamster Therapy

One thing I'm struggling with re: distance learning + having a puppy is that I now mostly work downstairs in the dining room so I am HQ for all things...instead of working in my office. I'll be plain: it is exhausting and it sucks.

Subsequently, the hours I do get in my office (usually 1-2 in the morning or when I'm on a recording) have become precious. For my birthday I asked Violet if she could make me a new door sign to reflect the new complexities of having a pass-through office + everyone at home. The hamster moves around to indicate what's up. I mean how amazing is this?! I smile whenever I move the hamster, which is pretty major right now. Apparently hamster therapy is a thing.
