I have told myself the same thing about the wheelbarrow, but I see one in my future as I’m also at an age where I am recognizing I can spend money if it will make my life better and easier. The useful, right tool can make a big difference. I’m so happy for your smart purchases.
Good tools for work I think of as necessitudes AND luxuries. Why not? Who said that both are not important! After many years of using a pillow for foot support I bought a proper footrest. My back was pleased. Me too! Easier to replace a pillow than a sore back!
I absolutely agree that the writing setup is a must. Someday you might consider getting a desktop monitor to connect to the laptop. I have that at school and when I got my MacBook in 2023, that Christmas I got myself an external monitor. This allows me to have two monitors: my laptop (on its stand, which is also a hub) and the external monitor. I need to get a better keyboard. I splurged at the time and got an Apple Magic Keyboard with number pad but I don’t love it. I’d rather have one that sounds (and feels) like yours.

It helped that the wheelbarrow was on sale :). It was actually cheaper than the keyboard!

Ooh footrest?! That sounds lovely.

Happy writing!
Thanks! You too!
