Bit by bit, that's how things get done. This weekend I framed and hung a bunch of pictures on a previously blank wall:
I also put up a mirror that has been sitting in our powder room for weeks!
A bunch of furniture we’d purchased over the holidays was delivered (now we have CHAIRS around our dining room table! AND a coffee table which isn’t just the piano bench dragged back and forth between piano and couch). Tables might not sound thrilling, but they really are when you’ve gone without for six months.
We also had the opportunity to go see the Habs playing the Blackhawks…
and the Habs won!
Am I lucky or what?
There were a few projects I didn’t get to, but headway was made on a few: curtains and curtain rod purchased for our bedroom, if not yet installed, and a story outlined – if not yet finished. I also dug into The Little Friend (Donna Tartt's second novel) and watched a little TV but not too much (Girls is back!). And here's another great link about why reading novels is good for you...(it boosts brain function for days). All the more reason to carve out some reading time in your week if you're not doing this already!

I've begun reading a Christmas gift, Winter's Tale by Mark Helprin. At 750 pages, it likely will take me the rest of the winter to finish, but three chapters in, it's blowing my mind. Is that good for the brain?
Counterintuitively, absolutely!! :)
I'm intrigued by this book now...
