Off of the Chair
With the death of Ms. Kitty this past July, a big area of my office - the area where her dinner table and bathroom were nicely guarded by a baby gate so that a Buddha dog couldn't barge in and interrupt important matters - was left vacant. Since nature and my office both abhor vacuums, Ms. Kitty's area became a dumping ground for ThingsWeDon'tKnowWhatToDoWith. But NO MORE! Thanks to the wonders of CraigsList, in the space that was Ms. Kitty's home, there is now a big, spiffy, comfy chair and humongous ottoman in which to contemplate, luxuriate, cogitate marinate, and appreciate.
And...
With the death of my plans to go to the Middle East this past December, this week was left vacant. Since nature and my life both abhor vacuums, I grabbed this week by the, um, reins and claimed it as MINE. And throughout the week, I sat A LOT in my big, spiffy, comfy chair with its humongous ottoman and I contemplated, luxuriated, cogitated, marinated, and appreciated.
For Five Days!
It was wonderful.
I still haven't figured out the answers to some questions
But answers don't seem too important right now.
What a fabulous way to spend that sudden free time. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThe chair is beautiful, and so are you.
Why thanks, Liz! I do sharing, so if you ever need a good chair for hunkering down in, it's here for the asking! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys are staying warm!
That chair looks like a comfy place to spend some time!
ReplyDeleteLike the look of the cave! I tried to leave a comment yesterday without any luck.
ReplyDeleteYou now have the ideal place to cogitate and luxuriate!
Oh, Gram, it can sometimes be TOO comfy (as in having the ability to induce a nodding-type state)!
ReplyDeleteDancing,
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time comin'. Now I have to make up for lost time!
The older I get, the more at ease I become with not knowing all the answers.

Thomas,
ReplyDeleteI think that your ease with not knowing the answers is a symptom of sanity!
That is a great chair for cogitation/comtemplation/luxuriation/marination/appreciation.
ReplyDeleteCarol, have you seen Weird Al's video take-off on CraigsList? Performed in the manner of The Doors. It's fabulous!
San,
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a great chair? I'm in love.
I just found Weird Al's Craigslist video. Thanks for telling me about it. What a weird guy... ;-)
Ahhhhh! So, my dear Carol, you are out of the chair and back from the world of solitude and peace. I say "Welcome back" even as I contemplate spending more of my own time in my comfortable recliner.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nick!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty much still in the world of peace, but the solitude... not so much.
Enjoy your precious recliner moments.
