Good morning world

Glad to hear you're back to today Greenie

I'm typing this standing up, since I got a wild hair last night to just make my own standing desk to see how much I like them before buying one.

The pic below shows my first attempt. Old roll-around sit-down desk that already had a higher desktop on one side. Turned it around to make that side the front. Stacked eight thin but large format art books to raise the monitor. Six murder mysteries to raise the keyboard. One large fishing reference book under the mouse pad. MacBook Pro is second screen. Cell phone holder and place for coffee mug and tv/audio remote.



Did a lot of bending and crawling to get everything hooked up last night, so it'll be a few days before I know how it feels without any residual aches and pains. So far I know there needs to be a nice padded something under my bare feet. And I do sit down for phone calls, some texts, paper note making.

Wishing a good day to all.



P.S. Bonus points if you spotted the bungee cord plus thin rope tie-downs to keep the monitor from being able to fall backwards.
