I woke up this morning to my Mom coming over and she asked me what the name of my chair was. I told her that I was not all about naming it. I’m still trying to get used to it. I don’t particularly like it but I know it is good for my knee and for me.
It’s a learning curve trying to get used to it and trying to navigate around my house. It’s a lot! Sean helped me get into bed last night because my Mom and I couldn’t figure out how to do it. My new chair it’s a lot higher than my previous chairs. I’m sure that I am taller than 4’6 sitting down but I’m not quite 5 feet tall. this chair is pretty big!
It has settings that can lean me back to take pressure off of my butt which is good for me because I sit all day long. On Thursday at RIM, as Dave was telling me how to use the controls for the chair, he had me lean back in the chair till I got comfortable. I found a comfortable spot and I asked him how I looked. He looked me right in the eye and told me, “It doesn’t matter. Whatever is comfortable for you.”
Well, I’m still trying to get comfortable with having this chair. I can’t quite process all of these feelings yet. Just before dinner, Sean asked me what the name of my chair was. I told him that I wasn’t going to name it and I’m not really all about naming it anyway. He didn’t like that. He told me that I name everything, because I do! I have named all of my cars and I even have a named his car even though he says that is not it’s name. It is! At least that’s what I call it!
I told him the process for giving a car a name a long time ago. The first song I hear on the radio when I start the car for the first time, either the first or last name of the artist, is the name. I listened to him tell me the process that I told him so long ago, so matter-of-factly and the fact that he remembered that; I told him that I would name my chair after dinner.
I opened Apple Music on my phone, pressed shuffle and turned it on. My chair’s name is Lauryn. This was the song that came on when I hit shuffle:
Seemed fitting as Sean sat across from me. Lauryn is a big ‘un! I wonder how long it will take for me to get used her.
