RIP, Dear Chair

When you buy a chair at a garage sale for five bucks, use it for many, many years, and don't find money in the budget to replace it long after it starts falling apart, you just may end up with something like this.  You can't tell from the picture, but it currently only raises about a foot off the ground, so it is a bit hard to see the computer screen while sitting in it.   It is also permanently slanted, so it's hard to even stay in it without slipping out.  We have accepted that we cannot stretch any more use out of it and have allowed it to rest in peace in our dumpster at last.  Now we are sitting in Basia's tiny, hard IKEA chair.  That's what happens when Dave Ramsey teaches you about "opportunity costs" and you know that every dollar you spend on a comfy, functional chair is one dollar that you are not saving for an adoption.  "Live like no on else..."
