Inglenook

I made it almost a whole month before rearranging the living room! (The bedroom didn't make it two weeks.)

In times of stress, when I can't rearrange my life, I have always found comfort and enjoyment in rearranging my home.

Tonight around seven o'clock, after talking to my son and learning that he still has not found their family dog, Eben, I suddenly had the urge to redo the living room.

It makes sense in many ways, because I like to be cool, but I hate drafts, so by taking the television out of what could well be an inglenook (if I ever put in a fireplace) I opened up a place for my big comfy chair.

The television is not limited by cable anymore, so it can be anywhere -- and I can be snuggled up in my little inglenook watching it without cold air blowing down my neck. My computer can be docked to the right which it is wired for and if I want to read there is plenty of light.

Life is good!
