I have a couple of gals that come out once a week, and we work and talk. I will say that I never get a whole lot done on those days.
When I'm alone I really get cranked, and seem to be almost in competition with myself. Is this block better than the last one? Are you any faster? What did you do right last time that you can't seem to do again?? And,on and on. I talk to myself alot, but find that the answers are almost always correct!!
At night I love to sit and do handwork while I watch TV.
