like the journals, this is basically something between a braindump and a reference for myself. after all, why keep my budget in my head when i could share it to the world?

wishlists

living a lie-sit-stand life is very aspirational to me, if i could replace all my furniture with pillows. in that vein, i'm looking at convertible furniture. some more typical, like sofa beds, but i've been incredibly tempted by this desk. i also can't shake the fear of moving regularly, so everything i look at either has to pack down very easily or be moved as a single unit. i have finally learned the lesson that cube shelves strove to teach me.
