Today I have constructed a desk and chair. Simple tasks that changed the entire landscape of my home. For the first time in over a year I’m sitting at a desk typing on a keyboard. A posture that’s the bane of office workers across American translates into a coveted work space for me. This is the desk where I will be a writer.

But first, I must assemble my bed frame. If I don’t give my cat something to hide under soon she might die of exposure. Such is the way with cats.
