One of the biggest things that I have discovered through this entire onslaught is that my body and mind do not talk. And right now my brain is extremely pissed off because my body insists on using all of its energy to do silly things like heal up internal rearrangement and continue to heal what seems like an endless amount of surgical sites. My torso looks like I lost a fight with a paintball machine and the scar sites still itch and are painful at times.
And my brain is angry about that because there is shit I want to do in my body is unwilling to do those things.
Life still goes on and I am nearly at the point of being able to move into the new cottage. What I really need to do is purchase a couch because I did not bring my old couches with me. They were rather old and had seen better days so it did not make much sense to move them across country to fit into a space that might be too small for them.
All that being said what I really want to do is buy a purple or orange couch. I have no idea why I am overcome with this desire but apparently that is something that is a requirement. More than likely it is because it allows me to exert some kind of control over my life in a moment when I feel like life is happening to me rather than me guiding it.
I have a lot of those moments. And I am also mature and understand that there will be instances when my stubbornness and contrariness invoke an unwavering desire for something stupid.
So we shall see what kind of purple couch I am able to find. I do have several on my watchlist but mostly I’m looking for something that will be comfortable and I can clean Cat hair off of easily.
So if you have a desire, tell me about the one thing in your house you looked at and said that needs to come home with me. You know a cat or dog doesn’t count because who doesn’t want to fill their house with animals?

make sure to get one that is a comfortable height. I know since I am tall that I have to have one that I can reasonably get out of.
I remember my mom falling in love with a couch and got it but was too low for the family. Fortunately it was the type the legs could be replaced with taller legs from Home Depot.
I DO check the seat height because some are so low!
I have a red love seat and when I saw it. My dreams of seating next to my bookshelf with a book filled me with love for the world.
I had a red one in the other house. It was lovely 😀
I have an Amish made wooden glider that I absolutely had to have and my hubby surprised me with it.
Awwwww

A purple couch! Yep, you have to have one. Purple is yum!
I know that feeling.As a child I fought tooth and nail to rescue my late granddad’s old armchair.It was a faded pink plush monstrosity from the sixties with those conical, slightly outward pointing legs but with a huge seat where I can fit in crosslegged. It must have been a major act to maneuvre it up a spiral staircase into my childhood bedroom. It certainly was the reverse way, when I moved into my own flat. I had it re-upholstered with normal robust fabric and it still is the most coveted seat in our living-room. My husband and our cat once raced each other upstairs because when they met at the bottom of the staircase she sensed he intended to take a seat there. She won.
That sounds like a delightful piece of furniture and everyone knows that the cat is very much aware of the best seat in the house.

I had this very impractical (but oh so comfortable) white couch for most of my life until it literally fell apart. Go purple!
I also have this large painting that my Dad painted before I was born. It has always been with me and always will be – as will my teacup collection.
Comfortable is very key and the thing is I just don’t want a standard Gray. It seems like pouches are only coming in very limited colors and those mostly are Shades of Gray and beige.
