The Pursuit of Cushy


I ordered movie chairs from Home Video Library yesterday. They'll take a couple months to get here. We've got lawn chairs in the interim. They are microfiber covered, cushy chairs you can lean back in with a fold-out footrest connected with wedge-shaped arms in between that form a slight arc and cover around twelve feet when put in place. They also have built-in cupholders for the drive. Leather was considered, but the brown microfiber seemed softer and warmer. We're obviously limited if we have a big group over but that won't happen often. The reality is that it'll be me and my three invisble friends most of the time. Getting Joy to actually sit down to watch a 90 minute movie start to finish is a monumental achievement. She takes her televised entertainment in random doses while puttering around the house. It usually takes the form of someone choosing between three ugly houses in which the potential buyers say the word "nice" 85 times, or it's a show about doing a complete kitchen remodel on a budget of $5. Our phone was connected yesterday but I don't know the number. Jeff, audio/video man, is waiting for parts so the house is still peacefully quiet. The Custom-Line people corrected the mirror alignment on Joy's vanity cabinet doors. I'm debating between getting a laptop or desktop, having donated my desktop to Mom. She does email and some surfing so an eight-year-old computer works great for her. The folks are due home from Palm Desert April 5th so Joy and I are making this weekend the big clean-up weekend, getting as much of our junk out of the basement as possible.
