Desperate times calls for McGyver!
Well, after a bit of trying to study and do all my homework in bed (not good for the back and neck), I decided it was time to find myself a new place to put down roots (AKA laptop power cords). My old study room had been commandeered so no longer usable. The kitchen was too noisy. The only other place was the basement with the rabbits. Buried somewhere in that no-mans-land was a desk, but to dig it out would have meant a lot of time and energy, both of which were already in short supply. So, I did what any child of the 80's would have done. I pulled a McGyver. I found a spot that looked easy to clear, put down 2 bar stools, piled some old books on. This was topped by my old wardrobe door. Tada! Desk! I thumb tacked a piece of bright fabric on the wall to hide the dark wood panelling, and perched my namahage hanging close by to watch over me in case I started to slack off. It's not exactly an Ikea layout, but at least I have a place to study. And with my kotatsu heater tucked underneath, the basement doesn't feel quite so cold.
