My new chair
May 04 2009 19:02

This is nothing newsworthy; hardly worth mentioning, but it tickled the pants off of me.  For 6 months I have been using a hard Ice Cream Parlor style chair (not made for comfort) at my computer.  I have been taking online classes, so I'm at the computer 4-6 hours a day with studies.  I go to bed at night with a tired butt, stiff sholders and neck. 

Today I decided to buy a new chair for my computer.  To me it's beautiful.  To some it's probably tacky.  I got it at Walmart for $54.00.   The box said "some assembly required".  I didn't have a problem with that, as I think I'm a very resourceful person.  I emptied the box of it's 92,000 parts, and felt a bit intimidated.  I know, there's millions out there that don't even need to read the directions.  Whatever. 

Once this beast was assembled, I needed to get it into my computer area.    I have a room that has my computer on a small desk with shelves upon shelves of fabric surrounding it.  There is also a sewing machine that sits in an expandable cabinet that is approximately 4' deep X 6' wide, fully expanded.  Hmm.  The chair doesn't seem to want to fit. 

My cat, BU, seems to think that it is her place to lay on the expansion of the cabinet right behind me.  I had to drop a couple of leavess for the sewing table, disturb BU, cram all the stuff onto the main part of the cabinet and wiggle the chair into it's new home; behind the computer.

I was thinking of sewing something tomorrow.  I guess not.  It's going to take a month of Sundays to unclutter my mess.  I hope I find BU.
