Watching TV- The Hard Way

The other night we were watching Dancing With The Stars and I began thinking how silly we must look.  The furniture in our condo is made of concrete.

The couch is tall so it can have the queen sized bed under it.  Most people’s feet do not touch the ground.    And, although it is covered with pillows, it is extremely hard and uncomfortable.  Also, since our TV is small and the couch is across the room, it is very hard to see the picture if you are on the couch.  So, I have devised a way to sit in the concrete chair.

I place one pillow on one side of the chair and two small pillows on the other side.  I can then drape myself sideways over the concrete arms and face the TV.  The back of the chair works great to hold drinks and the remote.  You also have storage under the concrete chair for beer and soda, which we buy by the case to save money.   This works pretty well for about  an hour or so and then my back begins to ache and I have to rearrange and just walk around or stretch out on the couch for a while.

We only have one wooden chair in the condo and it is like an office chair—not comfortable for TV watching.  So, we have brought in a plastic patio chair for Gail.

This works pretty good when you add a footstool, another stool for a side table, and a pillow or two.

 

We have learned to make do with what we have but it sure will be nice to have a comfortable couch again.
