Saturday evening I met up with some friends for happy hour and snacks. The party continued and we all ended up playing darts. But I don't play. I hadn't in years and years and I never was any good anyway. Needless to say I was not an asset to any team. I think ... I think I may have gotten one number. And we played two rounds! As the evening went on and the alcohol consumption continued I got even worse, if that's possible. I do remember hitting the wall with two out of my last three throws.
It was a holiday weekend and I had taken Friday off anyway so I had a nice long break. Friday my friend Robert and his new lady friend came over to give me a present he had gotten in India - a beautiful pink silk scarf. I gave them bowls of my yummy potato leek soup and it was a big hit. And then off they went. I had no idea he had a new girlfriend. Good for him. He deserves it. And he's taking her to Venice in a few months. Lucky lady.
My apartment is still coming together - slowly slowly. And no I haven't yet been able to get rid of the old wall units and dresser and that will be the final piece. But I had a brainstorm and carried it out Friday night and I am SO happy with the result. I had realized that putting my desk facing out was blocking the main source of fresh air, which is the sliding floor to ceiling window. I had first thought that having my desk there would be awesome for working from home, but I don't do it enough. The weather has been unseasonably warm - in the 50s - and the small window in the living area is not giving me the air movement I desire. So I emptied the baker's rack and put the cook books on a different shelf I was saving for the books in the bedroom and got rid of it. Then I moved the desk on that wall and put the little dining table in the space vacated by my desk. Now it is much lighter, I can get to the windows more easily and open it a lot or a little. It does make a huge difference in the amount of fresh air in the sleeping area. I'm happy. I am hoping by the end of this month I can have the other pieces in place and I can finally get the last few pieces of my art up and I'll have a little wiggle room in the sleeping area. That will be super.
I very much want to start a new knitting project and I just can't decide what to do! I know I have a couple of projects ready in the cupboard. I remember a cute Henley type T-shirt. Hmm ... maybe I'll take a look at that tonight. If memory serves I bought really yummy yarn for that. And seriously, the weather is really getting warmer and I can see the buds on the trees and shrubs. It looks like we're going straight into spring without any snow to speak of this winter. So a short sleeved project would be perfect!
