My Desk is No Longer My Home!

Since my Dell broke I have been using my Chromebook for all of my online work. It is small and I can sit in my recliner and just type away so easily right in my living room. So no instead of sitting at my desk I am relaxing a bit more. Now my desk has become the dump spot for all of the bills and Lil Keith's papers that are sent home. Normally I keep my desk nice and tidy but since I no longer sit at it every day it is messy and I have not bothered to clean it up. Since it is the first of the month and bills will be due I am gonna clean it up tomorrow.

It takes quite a bit of getting accustomed to if you are normally using a desktop. I do like the fact that I can take it anywhere!

I wouldn't mind a more comfy chair but those laptops have that dang square below the keypad and I just can't get used to that dang thing @Shellyann36

Yes the keyboard is very small and I do make several mistakes with it. I am just thankful that I have it to use!

It is nice to have other options to fall back on! I hope to get my dell working again soon.

@rosekiss Sounds like me. I am never able to fall asleep at night right away. I read an ebook or work my sites until I get sleepy.

@Shellyann36 It is nice, as I don't want to miss out, and since I have my ipad and iphone I can use too, I have at night, when I am in bed, as I take my ipad and iphone to my bedroom and put them on the bed next to me, so I can come in here if I can't sleep.

I use to think my desk chair was comfortable until I started using my laptop and sitting in my recliner.

kinda funny how that works aint it? i like to've ne'er gotten a laptop, the eldest son gave me his when my big clunker expired after 12 years 'f service. i despised it 't first, still aint figured out how to fly that built in mouse thingy - but it's portable! i love sittin' out 's the sun comes up 'n catchin' up with folks while the world wakes up. 't the moment, my poor desk is buried under 'schtuff' 's well 'n i really ought to tend it. like yerself, i used to be purty particular with it. i've a pile that needs sorted 'n filed fer those darned upcomin' taxes...

I still have not cleaned my desk. More things have been piled on it since this post. Even my hubbys drill is sitting on it right now. 
I also like the fact that I can watch tv while typing away and my recliner is very comfortable. I can also take it outside and work while the kids are playing. That helps quite a bit.

It drives me crazy but I still keep piling things on there. 
My chromebook has been a life saver for me.

@marie I have really had to get accustomed to the laptop and the smaller keyboard. It can be a pain at times.

I of course have a big desk i sit at, just like i did when i ran my internet cafe. of course still wasnt big enough for all the papers and things. Not sure i could do online work on a tablet to small i think for me. Even though im small as well. Not sure i like it. Glad it works for someone out there.

It was very hard to adjust to the smaller keyboard but I had to do it, no other choice. Do you ever miss the internet cafe? Is your brother taking care of it?

@Jessicalynnt That is a good point. My office is right next to the living room but if the kids are getting into trouble I am able to deal with them faster if I am in the living room.
