Sanity via UPS and the endless scarf

The delivery of a not-so-small piece of my sanity in the form of a new power supply for my pc has just arrived thus lifting my spirits. My 'puter decided it was time for a break just about the time my mind decided it was time for a breakdown. Not a good combination.

If you know the story of the Three Bears, you can identify with my current dilemma.

1. My daughter's computer chair is too small and her desk is too... let me think of the right term... girly. Yeah, that's it, girly! Pink and purple glitzy bling-bling furry Tink and Webkinz and Barbie - and, well, you get the point. And the chair was an IKEA find that was not made for adults.
2. My husband's computer chair is too hard - wood, actually - and his desk is where the stressful things like bills reside. His monitor is on the right which is wrong, his keyboard is not ergonomic and he uses a mouse.
3. The laptop is the one I have depended on for now. However, it has its drawbacks as well. There's the ergonomic thing again and the touch pad I hate, but at least the screen is in front of me where I like it. I must admit I cannot complain about the seating since I am currently on my tush in the bed **wonder if I could somehow work that arrangement in with my pc once it is up and running again?**.

And now, on to the endless scarf. Let's face it, there is no graceful segue, is there? The scarf pattern is called Rosy Cables, I've said that before. I am not knitting it in pink because secure as my husband is in his masculinity, pink is just not his color. It doesn't match his kilt! I love the cables, I love the yarn, I love the man I am making it for but I feel it will never end. The scarf is now as long as I am tall - 66" - and is still not long enough to go from front around to front again. My husband has a 18" neck. Somehow that math just doesn't make sense to me. It seems it should be long enough. However, when I try to demonstrate that he could just pull it a smidgen tighter to make it long enough in front he makes strange choking sounds and turns purple. go figure!
