I received a colorful gift from a friend!

Last weekend I gave my new neighbors an extra memory foam mattress I had that I didn't need, and a concrete bird bath, and today they brought me a bottle of wine and a 6-pack of beer with a lovely thank you note. I can already tell this is going to be a great relationship.

And EH came over to install a storm door with a doggy door in anticipation of overnights with the puppies.

The side of the box in which the wine was gifted says "Drink Me". It's hard to imagine that it's not an Alice in Wonderland reference, and Alice is an important symbol of mine, so this was an extra special surprise.

Reclining on my daybed, drinking coffee and watching TikTok is top tier Sunday morning, btw.

I'm going to have to set up some bird feeders.

I'm going to have a house warming party at some point once I'm all settled in, and I want to do a theme. I'm thinking a "Wear Something That Makes You Feel Awesome" theme.

I have long envisioned having a costume closet in my house, specifically so when I host gatherings people can grab something fun to put on.

I don't really have a closet that's suitable for this purpose, but I do have this angled space under my staircase, and I'm working on a plan for how I can temporarily hang a bar there to hang some costumes on.

So if someone comes to my party unprepared for silliness, they can borrow some of my silliness:

I think I can probably pretty easily tie something around the stairs above to hang down and attach a bar to that. That piece of furniture is in a temporary location anyway.

I should note that I wouldn't permanently keep costumes in that space. For normal, daily use I'm going to put some kind of decor there.

The costume rack would just be there when I have themed gatherings.
