now comes the time part

my upstairs room, and it feels more like a garret now that I’ve gotten used to using the kitchen counter

It’s oddly alone

For a couple of years my husband took over this space, leaving me the downstairs office, which is really pretty and all built in. But the downstairs office had all his stuff in it, especially the paper stuff, and there was also the electronic stuff.

I like it better downstairs, but we shall see. It’s easier to carve out the time and use it here, where it’s just me, the walls, and my desktop.
