I bought the Sceptre Curved 24-inch gaming monitor1080p R1500 98% sRGB HDMI x2 VGA Buid-in speakers, VESA Wall Mount Machine Black (C248W-19204N Series) – the sound is not very good, but I like the visuals for the work I do, and it was $84.97 on Amazon. I bought the Hiearcool USB C Hub, USB C Multi-Port Adapter, 7in1 Dongle Compatible for MacBook Pro, Chromebooks, etc. for $18.84 on Amazon. It seems to be working fine. I also bought the Logitech MK295 Wireless Mouse & Keyboard Combo with SilentTouch Technology, full number pad, lag-free wireless, 90% less noise for $29.99 on Amazon. I like them well enough and must have a number pad on my keyboards, so I like this one. I also got a LORYERGO Laptop Stand for Desk to make more room and have a better angle on the Chromebook for $12.74 on Amazon. This one is wonderful. I think it is helping with neck pain, too. Lastly, I got a SUPERDANNY power strip surge protector with 22 AC outlets and 6 USB charging ports for $27.99 on Amazon. It is a bit of overkill, but I was sick of not having enough outlets for things. Oh, and for back comfort, I use my cat as a lumbar pillow. He is not for sale.

Pretty Kitty

Pretty Kitty is angry;
he’s climbed a tree
where he will remain
until half past three.

His caretaker Debbie
took him to the vet
and betrayed his trust—
the worst treason yet.

He was poked and prodded,
examined and weighed,
all sorts of indignities—
might as well get spayed.

He though they were friends,
confidants at least,
until this afternoon
when he was treated like a beast.

He feels a little sorry
for calling her every name in the book,
when in a fit of anger
he hissed and shook.

He’ll probably apologize
at a later time,
but for now if she wants him
she’ll have to climb.

His feelings have been wounded,
and she really hurt his pride;
it’s all her fault that
he had to run and hide.

He might come down later
since it looks like rain,
but any of her attempts
at a truce will be in vain.

He has no intention
of forgiving her this soon.
She’ll have to wait until tomorrow
for him to answer her tune.

Pretty Kitty, where are you?
Will it take him long?
Here he comes to be consoled;
he can’t resist her song.

Contentment is pajamas
and a fan blowing straight
on my bare shoulders,
flickering candlelight,
endless streaming of my
favorite shows as long as
I feel like watching them,
sweet tea, lines of poetry,
a chapter of a good novel,
a cool spring breeze that
rustles the tranquil curtains,
salt and pepper kettle chips,
the clickity clack of my
keyboard when my fingers
know what they want to type,
my husband hobbying a
few feet away from me,
the dogs playing outside,
the cats sleeping nearby,
my kids and grandkids off
doing their own things,
and the complete absence
of pain or discomfort.
