JANUARY DOLDRUMS

For some reason January has slowed down.
The days were flying by and we were getting through the month and then Whamoo, it came to a crawl.

It's probably due to the snow that seems to keep coming every other day.
Freezing rain and snow yesterday. Snow overnight last night. Now more snow again tomorrow night into Friday. Yuck.

The days are cloudy so that adds to the problem. Even though it stays light longer in the day, when it's cloudy it doesn't matter.

I've tried to keep busy. Today I polished an assignment for a course I'm taking, and emailed it off to my instructor. Two more to go and it will be finished, the course that is.

I've been trying new "legal" recipes. Ones that are in accordance with my diet.

I've been amassing information for income tax prep. I hate doing that, but a necessary evil.

Yesterday I went to the dentist for my bi-annual cleaning. Exciting stuff isn't it?

I keep looking out the window for bluebird activity at the bluebird houses . . . nothing.
It should soon be time for them to build their nests and start this year's family.

Here is a small taste of spring.
I went through my pictures and found this one from a previous year.
It's just to remind me that winter will pass.

One of these warmer snow-free days I should go shopping.

 No, not for soup and crackers, which is the term for what I call pre-shopping for a snowstorm. I came up with that when the last time I was grocery shopping it happened to be on Senior Citizen discount day and the day before a snowstorm. Customers weren't in the milk and bread aisles, they were clogging up the soup aisle.

Perhaps I'll go toTarget and just mosey around, then maybe to Best Buy and see if I can get some input on Kindles and Nooks. A stop at Jo-Ann's will be a treat, to see all the quilting fabric and notions.

Enjoy your tomorrow no matter the weather where you are.
