The Flopping Chair


There is a chair in my beloved’s study that is an odd combination of basket, pillows and frame. The frame supports the round, bowl-like basket, and then there are far more pillows that one really needs to be comfortable. But there are enough to make it difficult to climb into. Thus, the proper method of entry is to flop. Lifting up one's arms and then falling back until caught by the cushions.

But if it requires a refined, specific technique to sit, more challenging is it to stand again. Particularly when one (like me) falls asleep in it and is then lacking in coordination when roused. However, it is comfortable. And it compliments a desire to remain nearby without disrupting my darling’s concentration.

This may be the least profound entry on your pages journal, since I wrote of armadillos.
