I Got A New Desk And My Life Is Already Better

Operation: Reclaim the House

Week One, January 1-7, 2022

Long story short: I GOT A NEW DESK AND I AM FUCKING OBSESSED!

As part of Operation: Reclaim The House, I am giving the kids their own bedrooms. Julian will keep the room they share, and Pippa gets our guest room/office/disaster zone. This is where my desk lived:

It certainly has character.

The desk fits the window nook perfectly, and Pippa needs a desk, so I decided she would inherit the desk with the room BUT WHAT ABOUT ME? I’m a writer! I need somewhere to write! Then I realized the window in our living room is the perfect spot for a desk. I ordered myself this desk from Amazon, set it up yesterday, and I am officially obsessed.

Why didn’t I think of this before? Probably because I was busy with babies and then preschoolers and pandemics. But seriously: why didn’t I think of this sooner?

I’m so happy!

Next up: Painting Pippa’s future bedroom. This will be my first time painting a room (gulp) but how hard can it be? [Insert hysterical laughter]
