YAY !!

my home is open-plan - one large, accessible, cool and airy room, with a bookshelf divider across the center...

the house is set at the center of a small (6 acre) farm, with a wrap-around screened porch, large windows for breeze-catching (crucial in the tropics), 3 fans, high ceilings, shade-giving wide-overhang roof, and cool tile floors.

the office/bedroom sits on top of a large concrete-block underground cistern, which holds 15 thousand gallons of rainwater, collected from the roof... and THAT helps cool the room as well...

my desk sits in the corner by the bookshelf, and through the screened windows I can view my homestead, all of my critters, and lush greenery of mango, orange, cashew and banana trees, and beautiful fan palms...

it's five steps to the bathroom, nine to the kitchen, and three to the bed, so I'm at the center of my world, in my little jungle nest.

I used to have my Laptop on my antique desk in the living rm, but when it got too tough to motivate, it is sitting on my coffee table and moves, easily, to the couch, beside me. And this is where I am sitting now (see Avatar) and always, when I am computing..

My TV is on all the time, so, you might say I am multitasking constantly...LOL! I am usually in my sweats or day coats (robes,caftans etc.) Yes, I am the perverbial couch potato..
