This was my desk.  The picture was taken mid cleaning so it looks a lot less cluttered than it was.

old desk

We’ve talked around getting something better for myself and the kid with more room for both, so thanks to tax refunds we did and now we’re working at setting everything up like this…

new desk

I’m still trying to find places to put all the stuff that I had piled on the bookshelves and in the corners of the old desk, there are probably going to be a few more trips to Ikea and some power tools involved, but that’s for later.  Shelves or cabinets where the cork boards are is going to happen.

I also sucked up and got this over the weekend…

laptop

I have promised myself that it’s going to be for writing, so I don’t get stuck having to sit here to do everything, and I’m not going to install any games *coughwarcraftcough* on it.  We’ll see how long that lasts, anyone wanna place bets, now is the time.
