movie

early afternoon drive with Mira to the theater to meet Alexa and Michael at Frozen 2. movie was ok, but still feeling rough from yesterday’s stomach bug. back home, then dropped Mira to gymnastics while we enjoyed a new spot in Chinatown for dinner. picked up Лена late from the studio.

Thanksgiving

slow morning, but ended up meeting up with Alexa and Michael for a late light breakfast at Chicago Waffles. pro tip: avoid the turkey sausage. walked back home and hung out for an hour or so before they were off to meet with his family, and we got ready for dinner at Maggiano’s. great dinner and a lot of fun, but wasn’t feeling so great by the end of it. back home and off to Target for a little Black Friday shopping. stomach bug hit me before bed and was no doubt caused by the sausage. sick all night and the entire next day.

complete!

finished the Murphy bed today… has been quite the process. looks great, and is super strong, so am pretty pleased with how it turned out. and just in time as the in-laws are coming to town on Sunday.
