Options for seating just get less comfortable as I age.
The recliners we so loved when purchased – too big for me. They always were, I suppose, but I could wriggle around them more freely. The kitchen table chairs are too big, also, but it’s really difficult to find smaller seating when you are shopping these days. Everything seems over-sized, not the more petite form-fitting style of the 50’s and 60’s. And if you use those older chairs, of which we have six in our basement, they are too short for the modern dining table. Even the piano bench needs to be raised if I’m to sit properly.
Perhaps the common denominator is me. I’m too short and obviously crankier the more I sit. Ding, ding, ding! Tim to get off my duff and exercise more.
