We are moving this weekend not very far. In the same apartment complex actually. Just downstairs so that my wife's mom (who is wheel chair bound) can come and visit us.
For the last couple of years we have lived I'm upstairs apartments and while my wife spends a good amount of time with her mother already. I felt that with mom going through dialysis treatment that it would be nice for her to be able to come and visit and sleep over as needed.
I will no longer have the luxury of my own office as we have our son living with us for the moment and he has been helping us out with rent payments as he can and has been sleeping on the couch in the front room.
The new apartment is a two bedroom also so we will put him in the extra room and I will set up my computer and desk in the space that would normally be used for a dining room.
I am not happy about the loss of my man cave but it is what it is for the moment. What's funny is that here I am feeling outspaced and my wife mentions that soon we would have to get a dining table and some chairs and I was thinking "and just where does that leave me for an office space?".
She had mentioned before when we discussed the new living arrangements that I could simply bring in my computer and desk into our bedroom where she has hers. With our computer screens back to back so we could look at each other while on your computers.
This does not strike me as something that leaps out to me as a fantastic idea.
Regardless of how much I love my wife and value or quality time, my time on my computer is my own.
I don't have many vices other than I enjoy online gaming and eating too much of the wrong foods.
Drug and alcholol abuse runs on both sides of my family so I have always been conscious of avoiding the lure of both of these.
An ideal situation would be for our son to get himself financialy stable and able to strike out on his own and I would move back into the extra room for my own office.
These things have a way of working themselves out so I am not going to put too much stress into it.
I look forward to an easy move that hopefully won't absorb our entire weekend.
