Busy Snowy day.

Today has been a busy day. Last night I had a troubled night and woke a little late - 7ish - to a beautiful white world. Actually, I'd been up around 5 to see it in the dark. Dawn was grey and cold with snow flying about. I kept a fire much of the day. I'm making a new stand for my 60 gallon aquarium in the sunroom. It's about 2/3 done now. After it's finished, I must remove the fish and water to a large cooler, clean the tank and move it out away from the wall. A little repair work to my mural wall must be completed and then I will set the new stand in place. When my sweetie gets home, we will put the aquarium -too heavy for me to lift alone- onto the new stand and I will fill, arrange and put stuff back including the fish. I hope it will be an improvement after all this work. 
I started a new student today. He's almost 7 and a real cutie. I was amazed at how hard he worked and how closely he watched and followed me. He will be fun to work with. I enjoy teaching his older brother, but they are very different personalities.
We are buying the stuff to redo the hall bathroom a little at a time. I have a few projects that must be completed first, so maybe by the time everything is bought, everything will be ready to go. I need to finish the tile work and doors in my laundry room/pantry. We are going to use part of the closet in a very small spare bedroom to move the linen closet from the end of the bathroom to across the hall. That space will then be used to enlarge the bathroom slightly. Eventually we hope to do away with that bedroom anyway and use the other half of the closet space for a new coat closet. But the back of the house must be finished first. We'll see how soon that happens.
We've bought some variegated green slate style porcelain for the tub area and a green glass vessel sink and a tall chrome faucet. Design ideas are crowding about in my head. I'm getting excited to get on it. We will buy a new toilet - hopefully one like we put in the other bathroom and a new tub with fixtures. I want a drop in and would like a jetted tub, but the jetted feature isn't a deal breaker.
I finished the day off by making home made cream of chicken soup with mushrooms and noodles and a focaccia. It was good if I do say so. Then we watched Soul Surfer.
In all, it was a full and fine day. Blessings.
