Feeling a little accomplished? I got my new LEVOIT Humidifier set up in the living room. It covers about 600-700 sq feet of space. I was also able to set it far enough away from appliances, walls, and put a plastic foam yoga mat beneath it. It looks nice actually. Better than the fan I'd set up there previously - and is currently taking up space in the pantry closet. (I keep meaning to clean out that closet, but I can only do sections of it, and most of it - will just have to wait until the damn knee heals.)
Currently robot vacuuming, while my light Xmas lights twinkle. One may need a battery replacement soon. It's getting dark earlier now - although it feels like the same time? Around 4:50pm.
It's cold today, I guess? I've not been outside the apartment? But the sky was blue, and barely a cloud creased the horizon.
The shoes I bought mother - finally arrived on her doorstep, just in time for Xmas. But the paperback book that I bought her - has no delivery date and has yet to appear, and seems to be perpetually stuck somewhere in the USPS postal system. Annoying, but hardly worth fretting over - it was only $20. If it is never delivered, I'll get a refund. It's kind of amusing, that Amazon which started out as a book distribution organization - has managed to misplace a book.
Dreadfully behind on the Question a Day Mememage - so below:
December Question a Day Mememage
12. Do you have a range of different glasses for different types of drinks or just one type?
Not really. I tend to grab whatever is available for the most part. I have a couple of metal glasses, and a tall green glass, that I use a lot. But mainly I drink out of a variety of water bottles.
13. When you open your front door to a guest, what is the first item (apart from you!) that they see when they come inside?
The rug on the floor before the pantry door. I have a long foyer hall, with no real views of the rooms within, which I adore. Provide much more privacy than my old apartments did.
14. What’s your favourite type of biscuit/cookie? Ever made biscuits/cookies at home from scratch (for example at Christmas)?
Chocolate chip. Sometimes double chocolate chip. Yes. As a child, we made and decorated sugar cookies (don't any longer). Also about twenty different kinds of cookies.
Made chocolate chip all the time when I was growing up and well into my forties. I have some wonderful childhood memories revolving around cookie making. In recent years? I've made gluten free - which are harder to do well. Actually if you can pull off gluten free cookies that are low in sugar, and vegan - you are ahead of the game.
(Biscuits in the US - look like THIS.)
15. Do you have any maple syrup? What’s your favourite way to use it?
Yes. Pancakes
16. Do you still use post-it notes to remind you of things?
At work, yes, but not as often as before.
17. Do you use a tablecloth on your dinner table?
Don't own a dinner table [no room], so no.
18. Have you ever been ice skating?
Yes, many many times. But not recently. Not really a fan?
19. What’s the last thing that made you laugh out loud?
Buffy, I think? I've been rewatching. Actually something mother said on the phone.
20. Have you ever had to wear a neck tie?
Not that I recall - maybe once as a costume?
