Well, we will have one less chair to move with us next summer.
Youngest sprout applied too much force to the swivel office / computer chair's five feet while straddling it backwards the other day, waiting for colour printouts so he could personalize his locker for the new school year. (I nearly freaked when he told me how many pages he was printing!)
Due to the plastic structure of the bottom, it would have been very difficult to repair. Instead of putting the broken chair in the trash pile last night, he decided he wanted to dissemble it and learn about the hydraulics mechanism. I suppose we can put a positive spin on this loss as becoming a learning experience.
As part of my down-sizing project, I am resisting any new furniture purchases. Meanwhile, those of us who need to sit at the computer for long periods have the choice to do so on a hard, wooden dining chair with or without a cushion. Some of us have plenty of built-in support ;-^ Another positive spin would be the opportunity to get up more often to stretch and move around.
There's often a plus side...

Downsizing is awesome! When my eldest first moved out on his own, he and his girlfriend stopped by here for a visit. He brought his step-mother's mini van and we packed it to capacity with TONS of Ikea furniture.
ReplyDeletePutting a positive spin on an otherwise negative event is the way to go. Kudos to you!!
