ew & ugh ... and Re-Designing the World
my AIM away msg right now ::
the lyrics running through my head...
~"All At Once" by The Fray
" And all at once, the crowd begins to sing,
Sometimes the Hardest thing and the Right thing are the same...."
whoa... holy shit, I feel sick :: napping on the floor in the bathroom :P (parents are around, don't worry) :: cell is on
............................................................
Whenever it is that I own my own place, I'm making sure I remember to put a cot or couch in the bathroom. Seriously. After spending far too many of the "sick" moments of my Life laying or napping on the floor of the bathroom - my house bathroom, my apt. floor outside my bathroom, the floor outside the bathroom of my boyfriend's apt., the floor of random college dorm bathrooms, other floors... other bathrooms... - It's not even as if I am all that sick, all that much of the time. It's just that when I do get ill or even just feel ill, it seems to make so much more sense to my reason of comfort to simply be in the "room of requirement", if you will, lol.
For whatever reason, most times I have ever gotten physically sick, a 2 hour nap on the bathroom floor somehow is the magical recovering cure. It's very odd.
But enough of this laying around on a towel on the floor... my future home bathroom will have a couch! Or a recliner chair! Or at least a cot!!
My urge to redesign places that are at once in need of being utilitarian & strongly functional, but also so strongly need to be the most comfortable places in the world, at that time of need - {as in, hospitals, bathrooms, nursing homes, retirement homes, medical offices, children's hospitals, etc.}- have been kicking-in again lately. This sudden few hours of bathroom-floor-time is helping that along.... And for all that it might sound mundane and bottom-rung for a designer - I really do wonder if I should become a designer for medical & nursing facilities. I don't think too many younger people think about very old people, or their comfort needs, until they are hit in the face with it from some personal experience. I might not win awards for the best & newest gadget of the year... but I would prolly be a hero to someone who can enjoy their later days at more peace than dwindling boredum with Life's sterile circumstances.
Besides... someday, my parents, and later even myself, will need those comforts.
