I've never been very happy with my bedroom. I rarely ever spend any time there so it's a room of cast offs and mismatched things. I know mismatched things can be charming but no so much in my bedroom.
Purchasing Harold and Maude, though, has got me thinking. think I'm ready to start making my bedroom a more pleasant place to sleep.
The weekend before last, I spent Saturday afternoon hunting for a down comforter and duvet cover. I got both for a song and have found it very hard to get out of bed since. Last night I started an afghan for the cat chair (a yellow chair in the bedroom that my cats claimed years ago). And I've been toying with the idea of arranging my books by color. I don't think this would look good in my living room but I think I might pick out the colors that match my bedroom (blues, yellows, whites) and try it out there. It's amazing how many like colored books you actually have when you start really looking. I like this idea a lot but I'm not thrilled with the prospect of really doing it, though so we'll see.
So those are my ideas so far. I've not felt the urge to do much recently other than sit on the couch with a movie and yarn and needles but I'm joining the YMCA tonight and we're going to start working out at least three times a week (starting tomorrow). I don't exercise but I'm a bit terrified because had a physical last week and now it's sinking in that I'm really thirty-three years old and need to start actively taking care of myself. Surprisingly, my overall cholesterol was normal (still have some work to do there, though) but my blood platelet count has me a bit worried. I don't go back until next Friday so I'm trying not to think about it too much until I can talk to my doctor.
I'm hoping this working out thing will get me back on track (a little sunshine would be mighty helpful, too) and wanting to actually do things - simple things, even - again.
Yawn.
I will have to send you my banana bread recipe. Oh I have amish friendship starter for bread/cake whatever. What some?
