I Don’t Have To Go Far….
Sigh. My BED. Lying down on my stomach, sideways, across the bed is my favorite place to read and write. It is really an uncomfortable position for anyone who has Fibromyalgia/Chronic Pain like I do but I continue to do it. It helps me think. My elbow joints are always tender and they throb in pain and I do know it’s partly my fault but it probably won’t change my guilty habit unless I am forced to medically. My other place on my bed is using a 1970’s brown cushion pillow with back support that I have had since college. It’s true, I still use it and it has those silly arms and it looks horrible, but it still feels good. We refer to it, at home, as “the brown thing.” My husband insists it’s called a television pillow. Okay.
I have gone to the library on many occasions to write but got distracted by the silence. Since our kitchen is being demolished soon so we can renovate it, my peaceful haven on my bed will be unthinkable for two months. I will be surrounded by dust and noise, LOUD noise, and there will be no relief at home. That is when I will head back to the library because I will be seeking the silence that troubled me before.
However, I am determined to bring my computer to Starbucks next week to see if I get inspired. It’s a good excuse to people-watch and treat myself to a nice cup of coffee in a mug instead of the take-away paper kind. I have a feeling I will be surrounded by young moms and toddlers, I was young once and did that too. It’s worth a shot. Perhaps a double.
P.S.I’m not thrilled that my favorite reading and especially writing spot is my bed but it does come in handy during those long, arduous, winter months.
Me too. The bed is where I sit with my computer, especially when I am feeling poorly. I can never get comfortable in the bed when reading, but I still do it. I have one of those “brown things” except mine is beige. I haven’t tried it yet, it was my Mom’s.
Enough of these coincidences already…I’m gonna be doing my kitchen soon too. I’ve never done the Starbuck’s thing, if I dd I would have to actually have to get dressed and comb my hair.

WOW. This is getting stranger and stranger but I kinda like it!!! Twin p.s. no need to get dressed up or comb your hair for Starbucks. It’s why I like it.
