The Things I Carry Around

These are the things I carry around the house as I move from one special place to another. The special places are where I sit and do things. The things I do with the things I carry are reading, writing and listening to music. The things I carry include a notebook with pen, a tablet, a book, a phone and sometimes an iPod.

The special places have been the front porch and the backyard which are now not in use because of the change of season. I sit at the kitchen table with a comfortable chair with my laptop and the other things nearby. I sit in the chair in the living room with my things on the table next to me. We just got a new reading lamp for that special place. We recently set up a new special place for me to sit on the second floor in a chair overlooking the front windows. There is a reading lamp next to the chair and it almost feels like I'm sitting on the porch with a nice view of the neighborhood up and down the street. I also recently set up the sunroom in the backyard to be used this winter. I sealed the windows, rearranged the furniture and stored most of the usual stuff in the shed. I took the chairs from the front porch and put them in the sunroom along with a table to work with the laptop. We have a heater in the room and the stereo is staying in it's place. I've used it a few times lately and is quite comfortable when the sun is shining regardless of how cold it's been so far. We'll see.  So I take my things and move around to different places in the house to mostly read, write and listen to music.

This is one of the ways I'm surviving the pandemic.
