A working Thursday,
Shuf’ling my way to my desk,
Still in my slippers.
It’s a temporarily typical Thursday, same as other more recent Thursdays: I wake later than normal, brew coffee in a French Press, make a home-cooked breakfast that is either egg or oatmeal based, and then take a leisurely stroll over to my new workstation that happens to share space with my bedroom. While I am tempted to say “I could get used to this,” the space is really too small and cramped. I pulled a very nice, very expensive, but very small desk out of storage for the temporary fix, but this desk was never meant to be used as a workstation. It’s more of a writing desk in the true sense of writing. It may be comfortable working on a laptop from, but my work requires a full-on workstation complete with multiple large monitors and enormous RAM and memory requirements. So I squeeze myself between the desk and the bed (at least a standard office chair fits between them), with a shelving unit to the right and a bureau to the left. At least the desk is up against a wall and under a window, but my room is on the top floor so the wall is only perpendicular to the floor for about 4 feet, then slants in with the roof line. And then there is the wallpaper. Ugg the wallpaper, which was most likely put up in the 1940s!
Not much else happened today. This day felt dull compared with all the excitement and emotions from yesterday (review: final walk-through and memory reflections in the home that is being sold). But as with everything else, this balancing is a good thing.
Until tomorrow (and beyond): Stay healthy!
