Now that things are quiet

• My sister went home yesterday. We had a good week together.
  
• I bought a leather loveseat yesterday! (From usedvictoria.com) We went and brought it home, and then spent an hour figuring out how to get the futon into our narrow office/spare bedroom. But now we have a double bed (futon) in the spare room, rather than the wee single bed, and I have somewhere comfortable to sit in the living room.
• Except for the fact that we went from having a futon that sat four to a loveseat that seats two. It fits far better in our World's Tiniest Living Room, but we're going to have to figure out where to put others who come to visit us.
• Chris also convinced me that we had to go and upgrade our cellphones, because our three year contract is now up and we qualify for new free phones. We got the upgraded version of the phones we have (but now with cameras and music players, which is what Chris was so anxious for), but Bell has taken its sweet time switching over our phones. They still don't work. But I have a pink phone! (I confess.)
• I'm covered in painful bruises on my arms and legs because of falling while mini-golfing. Which is possibly dumber than the time I injured my neck while studying. My arms were so puffy, purple and throbby that I had to take Advil before I could play the piano in church.
• I love Murchies's No. 22 blend tea. I also love the fact that the new Murchies site gives you the history of the company and their tea blends. (One of their teas was commissioned by Queen Victoria!)
• I'm experimenting with cutting back on the SAD lamp, now that it's May. I'm making big plans of curling up in a sunbeam and reading a book, and seeing if that helps.
• But I've already had to drink an entire pot of tea, to stay functional.

Update: My pink phone now works! I called Bell and it turns out that the guys in the store programmed them wrong. (Hilariously, they programmed Chris's number in my pink phone.)
