I can’t help it. Light. It creates the mood, the ambiance. I want my home to bask in a warm glow.

I attended a conference today—zero yield. To make me feel better, I went to Ikea and went straight to the lighting section. I’ve been plotting this for days.

On Thursday, I will buy materials to make myself a Christmas-themed set of curtains. I will sew them by hand—again. Creating something with my bare hands will help reduce my anxiety.
