November

Don't want to write anything, I'm not depressed, it's just November - the most odd month of the year for me. It's dark, rainy, crappy weather, no x-mas lights and x-mas sales so far. Awful!
There are 4 things that kept me on track this year:
- planning, preparing and shopping for x-mas decorations. I took out the box from last year, fixed the things need to be fixed, changed the things need to be changed and made a bunch of new ones. Decided what i need for this year and got it.
- knitting. I didn't knit after school, for like... maybe 15 years. But when I saw fine merino wool with huge discount, I just couldn't resist. So today my daughter has 2 funny hats and a west. And I'm working on cardigan for her. The coolest thing about knitting for the baby - you see the progress immediately, and can finish the whole thing in couple of days. It's inspiring.
- food. No diet! At least until January. Chocolate-and-almond cookies for breakfast, nice steak for dinner and lots of fruit. I put a bowl with oranges, apples and tangerines on the dinner table, so I can eat them during the day without feeling guilty.
- flowers. My orchids flowering for a month now, so beautiful! If they wouldn't, I would get flowers from the shop, just need some in the room.

Well, there where my perfumes too, but they keep me company all year long. This month smelled like Shalimar - soft vanilla and dark animalic, like fur of the lazy cat.
opera sucks, i typed the post 2 times, but it didn't publish

The funny thing about home decorating - it's a lifetime process. You find some new thing, that catches your eye and set it with another pretty thing and another with matching color and - ooops, you home looks a bit different. Plants are the worst - i just can't leave them in a store.
How could you leave a thing, that in a bit will have flowers like this

 or this?

I can't.
