Weekly Round-Up

This week I...

... spend most of the week sick.  I'm slowly starting to feel better.
... found out that an acquaintance won a million dollars in the lottery.  He is being quite sensible about the whole thing and it doesn't look like it is going to ruin his life.  He hopes to retire from work in 5 more years.
.... played (and lost) our first game of Mice and Mystics.  (It's a cooperative game, so its us versus the board.)  In the future, we're going to set up a table downstairs and leave it up rather than try to play it on the kitchen table.  My verdict--fun, but confusing.
.... went shopping at the Eco store.  They have a section of free stuff every first Friday and I scored some shelving, a picture frame, some tiles and some mugs for free, plus I bought a light fixture, a can of varnish, and a huge canvas.
... went with The Magician to visit our goddaughter and her parents, to deliver some belated Christmas presents.
