Make-It Monday – After the Holidays

[image error]

It’s the first day back to class after reading week. I got a reasonable amount of things done.

The break started with a trip to Montreal to spend time with friends and do martial arts. Much sake, conversation, and training was had.

I painted a good chunk of my entrance and hall. I intend to try to finish the front door later tonight. My place is a mess from moving things around to paint. Some won’t ever go back because I want my place to be nicer. Other things like my skates will go into a bin because I don’t need them regularly. I need to figure out what takes gum off a quad wheel before I can close it…

My mom had her 75th birthday the day after Family Day. They had a quiet meal at a favourite burger place. Sometimes the simple things are the best things.

I got a play review and book review done. I also started another assignment. It’s a fun one as I get to watch a movie I like and dissect it. It’s lengthy and needed to be started early. I didn’t do much else in the homework realm because I was pretty burned out before heading into the weekend and wanted to replenish my creative juices.

I put together a puzzle while in too much pain from painting. It’s the Great Wave of Kanagawa. People online say it is too hard. I did it in 4 days. Mind you, I didn’t get a lot else done in that time.

I also had a date that was filled with interesting conversation set to live music, which are two of my favourite things. We talked a lot about one of those topics you’re not supposed to talk about, but considering we met at a political function, it wasn’t unexpected. We also talked about dogs. I want one SO bad! I’d like to see him again
