Spring is great, patio furniture not so much

Damn, I like spring!


I spent the day puttering about catching up on email, basking in the sun, and admiring Kelley while she assembled a new chair for the deck.

Sadly I don't think the chair will work out. It seems built for a giant. Seriously, two of me could fit in that thing. Ridiculous.

I need something not too big, and comfy enough to sit in and read and zone out, but also useful for sitting at a table to eat lunch or write reviews or whatever. If anyone knows of just the thing, you would make me very happy.

    1. Whoa. That's looks more like a portable life pod!

  2. I sympathize about the chair. I don't sit in anything unless I can get my feet on the ground.

  3. :-)

    what's wrong with a portable life pod?? take your seat, make sure everything you need is within reach and enjoy your day!

    sadly, i cannot recommend anything ergonomically appropriate; i go to work out 4 times a weak because sitting in front of my laptop gives me lower back-pain, no matter the chair. if i could, i'd get myself a "strandkorb" as they call 'em here.

    1. Sitting is really, really bad for all human beings. We are not designed for it. I do it all the time, though. Sigh.
