Hee hee. I got up this morning, puttered around a bit and realized I was getting a bad headache. So I went back to bed!

Now it’s almost lunchtime but I’m waiting for my coffee to perk.

Anyway, I’m writing this on the laptop that’s currently perched on the coffee table while I sit on the couch. I love my desk, I really do, but the past few days it’s been really cold in my little corner.

Plus, I may have mentioned before, my desk is by the scary window. It’s the window that I’m sure hasn’t been opened in years. It’s where the air conditioner. First of all, there is aboslutly no seal around the window. I can stand on the other side of the room and feel the draft. Secondly, because there’s no seal, a lot of creepy crawlies get it.

I don’t do creepy crawlies.

Anyway, when it started to get cold, I went to the home depot and invested in that plastic sheeting you put over windows and then shrink wrap with a hair dryer. My thoughts were, not only would this keep the draft down, it’d also catch the creepy-crawlies.

We plastic-ed over the whole shebang, window, air conditioner, blinds, everything.

Well, it does somewhat keep the draft down (though last night I could still feel it across the room, even through the plastic). You should see the way the blind moves when the wind blows proving how much the window sucks in the first place.

As to the creepie crawlies, well, it’s kind of created a fishbowl for them to live in. They get in, but then can’t get out. It’s good they can’t get out onto my desk (I had a vew “incidents” before the plastic) but they just sit inside the plastic and taunt me.

There’s a particularly large beetle-ish type thing (I don’t know what it is and we get A LOT of them) in there now taunting me. He jumps agains the blind making noise, or he just sits just out of my line of vision moving every once in awhile so I catch him out of the corner of my eye and he scares me.

Damn bug.

So rather than sitting at my nice desk, I’m sitting on the floor using my coffee table as a desk.

*sigh*

What’s your writing space like?
