2015.01.17 – A Beautiful Rainy Day

It was so nice to sleep in our bed! Andrew and I went to bed early but I still didn’t want to get up this morning. I was so comfy. I woke up when Andrew brought me some chai though. For some reason I was feeling super motivated to organize paperwork, like boxing up stuff from 2014 and gathering  up stuff for the accountant. Andrew, always more motivated than I, went for  a long run in the rain. I got all of the paperwork taken care of though which was nice.

Wayne and I talked about what the next steps should be for our ongoing house remodel since most of the wallpaper was taken down yesterday. It’s interesting to see where original doorways were and what colors of paint were on the walls way back in the day.  Now we just have to decide whether we want to put everything back the way it was or just improve upon the shitty work that was done. Either way, we need to improve a lot though. We keep finding more interesting and horrible work but luckily Wayne and Andrew are very handy and will get it all fixed up.

Alena came over with Tiberias, Rialla and Anya. We got to hang out and play for most of the day. Alena also taught me how to crochet! I’ve never been interested and really wasn’t interested when she brought up the idea but there was this really cool scarf at New Seasons that I loved but it was ridiculously expensive. I took a picture of it to show her and she said it would be super easy to make myself. Ha! I am not handy like that at all and I am not really into sewing, knitting, crocheting at all. But she got me to agree to a lesson and holy crap it’s not that bad and I’m 1/4 of the way done with the scarf already!

After Alena and the kids headed home I really did nothing but crochet. My hands HURT. Wayne made us grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. It was perfect for this very rainy day.

Today I learned how to crochet.
