Finally. Finally I got an art table for my room. I've been looking for one for so long. It cost $149.00 at Staples and a friend offered to pay half. That was nice. I saw it yesterday but decided to sleep on the idea and return today if indeed I did want it and I did/do. Its a cherry wood top that has a deep honeyed look. Not the usually dark cherry wood you usually come across. Also the rest of the table, the drawer, the sides, and the legs are like old time country milk-washed wood. This table I will use for writing and art, and this is my first writing exercise on it. I'm in the NW corner of my room. I put a light nearby temporarily until I find something better suited.
It feels good to sit here. I have a chair that is cushioned with a luxurious red pillow. It was at the computer table, but I'll likely be siting it here most often. I look at the empty wall right in front of my view. I'm thinking I need art there. But art that stimulates a looking glass effect. That helps me, inspires to go beyond the humdrum thoughts.
I hear noise in the background as I think of writing how this is again a solitary moment - there is a ladybug flying around the light fixture. I'll refrain from sharing what happens to ladybugs who fly around too long that light fixture.
On the floor next to me is a healthy green-leaved lemon plant. It sits in front of the sliding windows that walk out onto the balcony. My draperies are pink and yellow.
The saleslady at Staples said that the table was undamaged when I asked about why the box looked mangled and obviously taped back up exaggeratively. There was damage. I've decided to ignore it and move on.
Exercise: Flow Writing - Pick a tangible object from your surroundings and use it as the opening image in your entry. Let your mind free-associate from one thought to the next. Write for a specific period of time. [Life's Companion by Christina Baldwin pg. 24]
