On this last Sunday of winter 2025, we had a wonderfully warm day. No hat, no gloves, no coat needed. And somehow. I just melted into the day and now it’s time to go to bed. The south wind that brought us warm weather today is bringing rain during the night, and it is forecast to stay with us all day tomorrow and tomorrow night, ending early Tuesday.
I did accomplish one thing today, but only with Jed’s help. A computer desk that my son Justin left with us when he moved out west in 2007. Mark and I kept it in storage while we sailed around the world and at some point after we returned, Heather and Jed used the desk for awhile. When they no longer needed it, it was disassembled and stored in their basement. Fast forward to this February. When I started PT for my neck pain, the therapist recommended adjusting the height of my computer. I tried a make-shift desk using a wooden card table. It was better than what I had been using, but it was still causing problems. Then I remembered that steel and glass computer desk and asked Heather and Jed if they still had it. They did, and this morning Jed got it out of their basement for me. They had used it at one point but then took it apart to store it when it was no longer needed. I took the parts home, and later in the afternoon Jed came over to put it back together for me. We were missing some special screws with large flat heads and one of the rubber pads needed for the glass desktop. I got into my box of screws and bolts and found a plastic bag with some screws that looked just like the ones we needed. When Jed opened the bag, he couldn’t believe it. It was the original screws and that missing plastic pad that have been hidden away for years. I tend to keep things forever, which can sometimes cause a space issue, but today it was a lifesaver.
