Home Office
If I'm going to be working from home a lot I need a quiet and comfortable place to do that. The only unused room is our guest room. We have guests in there about twice a year so I didn't feel too bad about repurposing it (sorry guests!).
I bought a computer desk from IKEA about 3 or 4 years ago. We didn't have room for it when we moved here so I took it apart and put it in the back yard. Today I gathered all the pieces and wiped off the dirt and spiders and put it together. The desk had been taken apart multiple times so the wood was very soft and I think a lot of the screws are just resting in the holes. But it's sturdy enough! After the desk I needed to get a chair because my back has been killing me (3 hours of driving per day) and I need some lumbar support. Staples had some great prices on leather chairs (better than Costco or other places I looked) so I got one there.
Now all I need is a computer! I don't get one from the new job until Monday so I have been stealing Samantha's desktop when I can.
Also, this is the funniest video I have seen in a long time. It's an edit of "The Shining" to make it look like a preview for an heartwarming family drama. Genius. The site that created it is http://www.ps260.com.
As a reward for reading this whole post here is a new video of Jace.
