With the New Year, I thought I'd try a few new things to do with my time while I'm at home relaxing, in place of spending more time on my tablet or TV.
First, I bought some adult coloring books, and started coloring a bit. The jury is kind of out on the adult versions - they're a little too much effort. But it was a good attempt, and now I know I'd probably prefer kiddie style coloring books instead.
Second, Santa brought me a little toy recorder in my stocking, so I bought a book of recorder music. I discovered that the toy recorder was a little warped, and some of the notes wouldn't play, so I bought a new recorder instead. It takes a lot of wind, and I'm trying to remember all the new fingerings, but it's fun.
Third, I wanted to get back to reading regularly, so I set a goal on my goodreads account to read 24 books this year - basically 2 books a month. FOr my second book this month, I picked up a book that I'd bought a while ago, but hadn't read yet. Although I discovered something I hadn't noticed when I bought it - it was the abridged version for young adults - DOH! But I've decided I like that - it comes with a lot of pictures, and larger print.
