very simple

We got our first measurable snowfall today, and within about 20 minutes it had turned into slush in my neighborhood, throwing off my somewhat ambitious morning when I walked outside and managed to step ankle-deep in one of those “invisible” puddles that always seem to form at NYC curbs. Oh well. Spending the weekend vegging in my apartment was just as nice.

Just the fact that I didn’t have to go anywhere or do anything (OK, fine, I did do laundry this morning), or have to pack for another trip, was the nicest little break I could have gotten. Sure I still have some work to do (but I can probably get away with doing it tomorrow in the office).

I actually cleaned my apartment this week…well, “clean” is probably too strong a word – I tidied things up. Threw out boxes, hung real window shades on Wednesday night (meaning that my neighbor can no longer see directly into my living room), and packed up all the “contractor” stuff that needs to go to my parents’ barn in the country (I just don’t have room for paint cans, milk crates, plaster, etc.) I still have some recycling to throw out, but I’m thinking that the magazines may go in a box to my brother. I think he’d enjoy several months of New Yorkers and Entertainment Weeklys.

Anyway, I swear I’m going to start blogging more regularly now that I’m home. I promise. really.
