A more attractive workspace
My workspace is a bit disordered today because we're having some work done. The warm California sun has been playing havoc with the westward facing outer wall, so we're giving in and having the original redwood siding on that wall replaced with vinyl. We also had the two original windows in this room replaced with vinyl ones. The old windows were certainly charming in their own way, but the double-hung mechanisms had gotten so old that we were afraid to open them for fear we wouldn't be able to close them again. These will be much nicer. After the sun heats the room up while I write during the day I'll be able to open the westward facing window and welcome in the cool evening breeze that brings direct ocean refreshment from about a mile away. It's nice to have atmosphere in a room where you write, but there's also a lot to be said for comfort that frees the mind to go wherever it needs to go.
