A Week-ish in Photos: 2025, Part 1

January 8, 2025

Wednesday, January 1: Started the year as I mean to go on, taking a walk. Mr. Karen and I just went to the village and back, and I definitely felt out of condition compared to before I got sick. I’ll get back there. The holiday period means renters all around, and the folks next door to us brought their kids, who made this snowperson in the driveway.

Snowperson shaped from three irregularly shaped rough blocks of snow. Has thin stickes for arms and hair, a carrot for a nose, and charcoal briquettes for eyes and buttons. Part of a black Ram truck can be seen behind it.

 
Thursday, January 2: Finally got our new rug laid out in the living room. It arrived just before we left for Florida last month. I love how colorful it is. I don’t love that we’ll have to trim the pad underneath but that’s a one time thing at least.

Looking down from 2nd floor to rug laid out on floor below, all the furniture having been moved out of the way. There are four rows of five circles made of rings of color set on a background of vertical stripes in all different colors, but mostly cream, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, teal, and yellow.

 
Friday, January 3: Finally decided to go my doctor’s office and see about this cough … was amazed I got a next day appointment when I called on Thursday. It had been a while since either of us left the mountain, so there was more trash than usual waiting to go down to the dumpsters by the fire station, including a ceiling tile diffuser panel that broke in the shape of Idaho.

Full white kitchen trash bags sitting by a door to the outside. A plastic panel is leaned up against the doorwall past the bags; it's broken with a jagged chimney shape jutting up along the left side.

 
Saturday, January 4: After letting the new rug relax for a couple days, we put the furniture back (but didn’t trim the pad in case it has more relaxing to do). Decided to flip it around so more of the red-dominated circles would be hidden by the couch as that seemed to blend better with the rest of the room.

Looking down from 2nd floor to living room below. The rug from two days ago is now home to a couch with a teal slipcover and two black chairs with matching ottomans, plus assorted end tables.

 
Sunday, January 5: The big snow berm next to the driveway got a lot of use as a playground during the holiday week. The set of kids who built the snowperson used it as a slide, but after their family left, another set of kids used it as more of a fort, with the slide serving as a sort of stairway to get to the top.
