In the interests of being able to use my hands past the age of 30, I bought myself a set of professional ergonomic tools this week: round-nose pliers, chain-nose pliers, and flush cutters, all by Lindstrom. Pricy, yes, but from what I've read, just about the best damn thing I can get. I should have those in a day or two, and hopefully they will fit my hands quite a lot better than the last set of tools I bought, since they are approximately five times as much for half as many items.
I also need a proper workbench, and a good chair. I have room for both now, it's just a matter of figuring out what I want. I kind of like this, as it's reasonably big enough and has many places to put bins of supplies and such. *nodnod* Yes, I think that could do nicely, if I can figure out how to fetch it home from the store. I'm quite sure they won't let me bring it on the bus. A chair is somewhat easier, as my back isn't too fussy and any basic office chair that goes up and down and around should do, at least for a while. I may even be able to freecyle one if I'm lucky.
What else do I need? Software, for sure. Amy's working on that. And my website needs to be fixed in a big way, but that has to wait until after Amy figures out the software.
(So much for Going To Bed Early. Ah, well. That's what caffeine is for.)
