lap top

No, I didn’t purchase a new computer. Wish I could though. No, my new computer arrangement is far from portable. After I finished the floors in the old master bedroom (or new playroom/ den/office), I had to clear out the old office (or new nursery) so that I could finish the floors in there. I’m now done with the floors in both rooms. However, I still need to get the baseboards, doors, and trim installed.

This has led to a problem in the old master bedroom (or new playroom/den/office). All the stuff from the former office is piled up in there in the middle of the room so that the baseboards can be installed. Then, I will put the shelves and desk against the walls and fill them with the rest of the stuff. Since all this stuff is piled up on the floor and the desk had to be taken apart to get it out of the old office, the computer is on the floor too.

So I have a “lap top”. I sit on the floor and lean against the wall. The monitor is in front of me with the CPU behind it. The keyboard sits on my lap. The DSL modem is connected to the phone jack on the other side of the room. It’s pretty much a ghetto set-up, but it is working fine for now. I’m just happy to have the floors all done before the baby arrives. My list of things to do is still a mile long, but the part that makes the most toxic fumes is complete. And I can still get on-line.
