I have 2 loveseats in the front room. That's basically what we bought 20 years ago, I had a nice rocker at the "elbow" between the two. I also had to have room for Ron's wheelchair.
What I have has been paid for, and it works, so I'm not getting rid of it. If I remarry or get a roommate I might get rid of a loveseat to make room for a "proper" couch. But I'm not in a rush. So I have basically seating for 4 on the loveseats combined. I have a folding chair I use at the computer. My uncle, who has a bad back, likes to sit in it when he visits as it helps his back.
What happened to the rocker? Well an orange boy. Spotty, his Mom, and sister all moved in about September of 2019. Mama Cat liked to sleep under my rocker. So did Spotty and Cleo, they were half grown, there was room. But Spotty always laid under the rockers. If I didn't look before I sat down I'd hear a terrible scream and see him bolt. This happened often enough I told Ron I'd have to get rid of the rocker. And I did, I put it out at the curb and someone took it.
I had an Ikea Pello chair there for a while but I like to do my Bible study in the back room. I was sitting in an uncomfortable plastic chair for that. It dawned on me I should move the Pello to the back room and sit on the loveseats.
Well, the cats like the loveseats. But I have my computer chair (although the cats sleep in that when I'm at work).
So, most days, after my shower I go in the Bible room and sit in the Pello chair and do my Bible study. I try to pray basically everywhere but I do pray in there too. The cats love it, love to pile up in my lap. I can fit two cats with some discomfort but we've found I can't do 3. I pet them, they purr, when I'm ready to get up I give them treats. Good times.
I would love to get a recliner but I don't think it would work with Spotty. And that's OK. Spotty's a lot more important. If I want another chair up here I'll get another Pello.
Right now Spotty's to my left on the loveseat, about 3 feet away. I don't allow the cats on me when I'm using the computer so he's just being a nearby boy.
I don't plan on doing any cooking tonight. I do need to figure out how I'm going to serve the pork roast. I was thinking a mix of corn and black beans but there is a lot of broth. Maybe use some of the broth to make rice? I am still full from the curry I had for lunch. I got 4 meals out of 2 chicken leg quarters. I got a bag of shredded carrots at the grocery store, I could mix that in the rice for more nutrition. I am always trying to sneak vegetables in my food. Maybe some of the kale and the carrots in the rice.... hmmm.
That's it for now!
