Good Friday evening friends! I hope you had a great week. I just wrapped up my Friday to-do list, so I’m feeling good about going into the weekend.

Much of my week was spent at my desk. Lately, I’m working in Photoshop to create paintings for our home. The image on my screen has 8 layers of paint and is dedicated for our dining room. Once it’s finished, I intend to send this off to have it printed on a large canvas.

The search for the office chair is over. I finally found a comfortable chair over the holidays that seems to have been made just for me. I love the fit that much.

Having a workspace to function properly is a big deal when a lot of us spend many hours a day on the computer. What I like about my workspace.

• My chair – I love the way the back curves to provide the right support for my needs.
• The arms of the chair move up and down, forward and back, and swivel in and out.
• The footrest below is key too. I can sit as high as I like and my feet have the perfect place to rest.
• I recently had the keyboard tray removed. This seems to be the perfect setup to bring everything up to the desk and my posture all around feels much better this way. Makes me wonder why it took so many years to figure this out.

The tool orientation for when I’m painting.

• Wacom Tablet – on the left. I’m a lefty, this is the best spot for this tool.
• The keyboard in the center allows me to use short commands while painting.
• The mouse on the right. Wow! I’m grateful that I’ve always used the mouse right handed. If I ever need to grab it quick, I don’t have to put my Wacom Artist Pen down.
• Computer glasses are kept below the computer screen. Those glasses are a work horse at the computer. I can’t imagine this kind of work without them.

I’m having a great time getting my new office set up. There is more to come. But that, as we all know, takes time.

This calendar is my sidekick. Notes, tasks, appointments, and thoughts about everything fill the pages. The reminders prove useful, as I don’t forget the important or not so important things that ramble through my mind.

Since our needs vary, what is it that you enjoy about your office workspace that makes it comfortable for you?

Cheers to getting situated for the New Year and beyond.

Blessings – Debbie
