We mowed and raked the yard yesterday to prep for falling leaves. L helped me with a small rake, picking up acorns and throwing them into the bushes. She absolutely would not nap yesterday, so at least we were outside getting fresh air and moving around.
We also picked up a secondhand treadmill, which weighs about a billion and a half pounds. We managed to get it into the basement, moved the piano from the living room to our room, the chaise seat from the basement to the living room, and got the treadmill in place. And then I walked a mile on it to see how it ran. I'm pretty excited about this, especially since it's getting very cold now and I can walk in the evening and catch up on my shows or reading like I used to do when I was younger, unmarried and made time to go to the gym.

Another project I'm really excited about is our bedroom. It has felt like a bit of a dumping zone since moving in June, and I wanted to make it a cozy, beautiful space that we'd enjoy going to bed and waking up in. I spent some time pinning an inspiration board and picked up on some common themes for colors and textures that I like for bedrooms. L and I made a trip to Ikea on Saturday to pick up some things, and it's already making a huge difference.
Before (yes, I know it's super messy and terrible lighting):
After:
Major differences are white sheets, fake plant/pot on bookshelf and pushed bookshelf to corner, added another curtain panel, and new lamps. I also bought some new frames and need to order prints to get those hung over the bed, and the last big project is hanging the fishing net with pictures and momentos on the wall over my bureau. It might end up looking like a disaster. We'll see.
