10 Things About My Blue Chair

10 Things About My Blue Chair

I love this chair

• It a thick, dark blue corduroy.
• I purchase it in 2005 from a Strawbridge's warehouse on Philly for $50. That included the free delivery.
• To move it, it takes two people.  It's big and wide.
• I have always wanted a corduroy chair ever since I read JD Salinger's book, Raise High The Roof beam Carpenters. The characters in this book lived in a large apartment in NYC and they had corduroy chairs and they spoke lovingly of the comfort of these chairs. I wanted that comfort.
• I bought this chair to replace my reading chair and I errored in judgment. This chair is too wide and so my arms fatigue from overextending my arms to the arm rests. Sometimes, I have to stuff a pillow beside my hips to accommodate this annoyance.
• If I just throw a blanket on me when I am sitting there, it isn't long before I am snoring.
• At the moment, all of my important papers and passwords are stored in deep in the side of the arms. Sometimes I just reach my hand in there and I find some important paper I had been searching for.
• It's time to replace this chair. It's 20 years old and fading.  It's a bit lumpy in spots and it has served its purpose. Ive enjoyed it but it's time to go.
• Just as I decided to give up this chair, I got a notice from the head of maintenance for my apartment building. They are no longer providing the service of removing furniture for us.  We now have to hire a service to pick up the chair.  
• I called a service and they would come out for just one piece of furniture.  Now I am stuck with this chair that I once loved so much.
