Not good

I have to tell you, I'm not doing very well this morning.  I had 10 days off of work, and I was really looking forward to them.  I wasn't actually planning on doing a lot, I wanted to clean up Maddox's room, which I did, and I decided I wanted to figure out an office space for me, which I did, and am not thrilled about. 

Yes, that's my linen closet.  The thing that I don't like is that the shelf is too high.  I am currently sitting on two pillows and a pile of puzzle floor mat things, and am still too short.  And it's slightly too short for a standing desk, although that actually might be better than the way too high for sitting desk.  

I have been really, really dreading starting my practicum (internship) for school.  I start next week and I already feel overwhelmed and depressed.  I have 10 month of this and I honestly don't know how i will do it.  I just want to go curl up in a ball and sleep, which is honestly what I did most of this last weekend.  795 days of running and depression may cause me to miss a day.

That's all I have for today.  I was going to do an end of the year recap, but that will have to wait.

  1. I am so sorry you are feeling down! ~~hugs~~

    Could you build a temporary base on the floor in the office/closet? Two by fours (or two by eights if you need 8 inches versus 4 for the height) and just nail together a rough square/rectangle base and then nail some plywood on top for the bade/floor. Just put a lip or something so you don’t roll off backwards!

    1. That's a good idea, but I don't think it will work as the closet is so small, my chair is in the hallway.

  2. Can you lower that shelf, or get one of those desks that installs on a wall and folds down, then back up when you are done, and don't use the closet at all?

    1. I looked into those a lot. I actually had an idea to build one myself, but this was easier, and cheaper. I also didn't want to spend a lot of money because I have a desk (an old antique roll-top desk) that I'm going to get from my family just haven't been able to because of COVID.
