$11.85 Save Me From Suffering Severe Back Pain
Being a Cesarean mom is not easy, you will suffer the pain of your abdomen when the weather is bad. Aside from that the back pain will pester you when you sit longer without proper posture and when you stand up for longer time. Even if the operation happens long time ago, the pain still lingers when you lift heavy things as well.
With that being said, I've been suffering severe back pain recently. I already shared that I'm now entering freelancing business offering my writing service. I was hired and will undergo my training for two weeks. I wanted to advance my learnings, so I quickly explore our working space how to navigate it which is ClickUp. Upon navigating, I found our Google classroom training even if I wasn't given an access to it yet. After that, I advance brainstorming.
No Proper Writing Equipment

I only have this kind of table which is for my daughter. I plan to buy equipment needed for my freelancing career when I already earned money from it. But things are not going well as I suffer severe back pain using the foldable mini table as I cannot sit properly.
Last time I bought keyboard and mouse to make my typing faster than just typing directly on the laptop. I am not a fast on typing since I am used using mobile for writing my blogs and other contents. So I bought this keyboard with free mouse on it, so I'll have proper equipment on writing.
No Proper Work Space
Since I don't have a table, I don't have a proper work space. Last time, I was busy researching to advance making my activity answers from the training..my back pains a lot. I can't walk properly anymore because of the severe pain even if I only have screentime for two hours.
Last Friday I decided to find a cheap mini table for temporary usage as my working table. I saw this cute table with three compartment below. It was not an ideal working table, but that's what my budget can afford only. I like it because it perfectly fit the laptop, keyboard and the mouse on it. It cost 699 Pesos or $11.85 if $1 is equivalent to 59 pesos in our currency.
After buying the table, I hurriedly went home to set it up. It was not easy to assemble it alone because it keeps moving. I don't have anyone to call for help since the husband is in Manila already. But seeing it stands well after locking up the screws I felt accomplished. The table space was just enough for the laptop, keyboard and the mouse. I love it! Maybe you're wondering why the color is different from the first photo, I order this color.. orange is weird!
Tadaaa! Flaunting my big face! LOL!
I can now sit and work properly. My training starts today and I am doing fine with my cute work station located in our room. I can watch my daughter while working without worrying she might do some silly stuff.
My next plan if I am already stable with my job is to buy a comfortable working chair that will soothe my back. For now, I'll settle on the wooden chair from the house and this cute table.
Ending Thoughts
I know this is just simple thing, but you know it made my day last Friday. I felt happy and feeling accomplished after providing remedy to avoid severe back pain with my own strength without spending a lot.
Recently I realized simple things can make our day if we aren't focus on achieving bigger stuff right away. One step at a time, enjoy the process and appreciate small things.

It's a good spending and you deserve it :) Pretty sure you will have the chair soon!
