The Big Blue Chair

I'm currently sitting in the Big Blue Chair in Christopher's office. The Big Blue Chair used to be in the living room, but we got a smaller chair for in there a while ago, and then wedged the Big Blue Chair into the office. It's still probably the most comfortable piece of furniture in the house, it's just not a chair I usually sit in because... well... it's in Christopher's office.

Tonight, though, I was running around the house cleaning and tidying and doing laundry in advance of a visit from my parents, and the pup was following me all over the house anxiously waiting for me to settle down. When I was upstairs (finally) and mostly settled, she came into the office and crawled up on the back cushion and collapsed - a very pooped pup.

I was all set to do a few more things and to watch some TV in the living room, until I realized that she had had about all she could take. So I grabbed my laptop and came and sat down next to her on the Big Blue Chair.

And, a bit like that lunch out earlier this week, I once again found that the strangest little breaks from the usual routine are kind of nice. Especially when there's either a good friend or a Big Blue Chair.
