My mother has been having medical problems (not always crises but sometimes) for the last 10 years, so I've had to come and help out from time to time.
She's
always been grateful, but she is also VERY attached to the décor she
has achieved in her home; she likes the guest bedroom to be in harmony
with the rest of the house, a harmony which would be ruined if it were
changed to a place where I could work. So there's nowhere to work.
(Money would be less of a worry minus this inelasticity, but there you
go.)
Anyway,
after months of procrastination I have put ads for the Shaker pencil
post bed on Craigslist, Nextdoor, and FB. Pretty sure most followers are
nowhere near DC, but if anybody happens to be looking for a bed the ad
is here
A
reader who would like to remain anonymous has responded to a Twitter
thread: X has very generously offered to buy the Shaker pencil post bed
for a single mother in need of a bed, thereby giving me space
to write and the recipient a terrific bed. So if you happen to know of
someone in the DC/Maryland suburban area who could be helped by this
offer, perhaps you could let them know.
