I Didn’t Have a Computer Table For Two Weeks And It Was Surprisingly Enlightening

In a good way, I promise.

A bit more than a week ago, I posted about me replacing a closet and how it changed aspects of my life. When I replaced the closet in my room, I had to get my computer table out of it to make more space for a cabinet which held all of my books. Since that day, about two weeks ago, I remained without a table.

It has been rough but also surprisingly enlightening.

I Sat On The Floor a Lot

I’m a 235lbs man. Sitting on the floor is OK, but the real challenge was getting up. You’re probably asking yourself why I have been sitting on the floor in the first place. Well, because I didn’t have a table to sit by, I had to find another way to write. I wouldn’t just stop writing while I wait for a new table. So, I sat on the floor and put the computer on my bed so I could rest my arms while I write on my laptop. It was too noisy to write in the living room.

I hated it. But what can I say? I had no choice. I did find other places to write when I could, but sometimes you write at 11 PM, and you don’t want to do that outside of the house or somewhere noisy. So I used the floor exactly as I do now while writing these very words.
