Painted and painted and painted my teeny tiny office. Whoever knew that 5' X 6' with 2 doors and 3 windows could ever use up so much paint! But I needed to banish real estate taupe. Enter white walls with a purply-fuschia and caribbean blue bookcase!
My desk is empty, my shelves are bare, the build-in under the stairs is almost done and thus can take all the family stuff from my professional orbit. It feels like a whole new start to work. Now, I just need to find some!
But all was not chores. We did dine out with friends, supping on Japanese Ra-men (I had a delicious Japanese omlette) and then Baskin Robbins to go.
My dad was reflecting on the time that both my sister and I went off to sleep-away camp simultaneously. We were obviously older and time warps memories because he thought it was 3 weeks but I think it was only a week or perhaps 2. Anyway, he said that my parents went out every night. For the first week. And then got bored and felt a little lost.
I have to admit that I don't feel like I am adrift. I do feel like going out every night is boring and that we need to crack on and do "stuff" around the house. That dear readers is the goal (amongst some family-related tasks) of Day 6.
