Backaches

[semperfiona]

I'm sitting on the floor with my computer...it's not a very comfortable way to type but I have no choice. Ray came over this morning and took away the desk I had been using: it belongs to his parents, and they apparently decided they needed it back right now, couldn't wait until I move and can use the desk that is in the house. I considered putting the computer on the table in the dining room, but the phone cord for the computer line doesn't reach that far. So I'm in for some back- and neckaches for the next few weeks. (Yes, I know I'm an addict, if I'd rather have a backache than stay offline.)

I've got one already from painting the stairs yesterday. It took some contortions to get at the bottom edges of the treads. But although I'm going to have to do a second coat, I'm really pleased with the outcome. I painted the ceiling and plaster portions of the walls white (pure white, not offwhite), the wooden portions of the walls and the handrail bright yellow, the treads bright blue and the risers red. From the door at the top of the stairs you can only see the blue and the yellow, while from the basement floor you see mostly red. It's very cheerful.

Longer modular phone lines are usually very cheap at electronics, phone, or computer stores.

Yeah, I know. I might even have one already, over at the house. It would be stretched across the middle of the living room, but what's one more obstacle in a room that's already strewn with baby toys? And the TV cable already runs across the hallway entrance. Good thing nobody's inspecting this place for fire safety.

Okay, one more bit of unsolicited advice :). Buy enough line (and couplers if necessary) to run along wall board instead of running it across the living room floor. Then you won't trip over it, either :).

Phone line is *cheap*. Chiropractors are expensive. If you can't get phone line long enough, buy two long ones and a coupler.

Just call me Kathymom. ;-)

Okay, okay

Y'all can stop worrying about me. I just fetched the long phone cord from the house, and by tomorrow I'll have my puter set up on the table. :-)

I'm sorry about the desk, but I'm really glad about the painting...
