January bleeding into February...

So January is over - has been for a few days, obviously - and naturally I didn't quite complete all the tasks assigned to the January Cure. Am I disappointed? Not really, since really the exercise was more about initiating projects and "thinking" about my space, and I've accomplished both of those. It's been tough to begin projects because of my schedule - I've had quite a number of after-work plans, and weekends have been booked up too (and when I have a number of hours at my disposal in my apartment, I find it easier to just flop on the couch with a book and/or a movie on the tv) - but there are some that are half completed. The good news is that they will get completed, but in time.

I'm feeling especially positive because I'm having a new couch delivered tomorrow! Well, it's called a loveseat, but it's bigger than my current Ikea loveseat, so I feel somewhat qualified to call it a couch because of its larger size. (I'm currently waiting on someone to take my Ikea loveseat - I hope he doesn't find it too worn, although I am giving it away for free. Crossed fingers as I'd like it out of the apartment!) I'll post a photo of the new couch after it arrives and is set up. I figure the new piece of furniture will spur on my other projects. So my "replacing all of all my Ikea furniture" project has hopefully begun.

Not much to report otherwise. Went to the two COC operas in the past week - had great seats for both, which is always a plus - and there's some symphony and jazz in the coming weeks. I wish this nasty winter weather would depart, but that doesn't seem likely if the forecast is accurate. It's got me thinking about a survival strategy for next winter... Although the sensational S. doesn't seem to believe in warm-weather vacations. I'm working on her.
