I am simultaneously in mid-winter slump (due to extreme cold and early sundowns) and January ease (because yay the expectations related to holiday social gatherings are behind us).
I've always loved January but my dVetNeighbor has always said, no, February is the month. I'm beginning to think she's got a point. It's true that yay the expectations are behind us, but the ease hasn't lived up to expectations like it used to. I'm constantly just barely making deadlines. As Dee says, the meeting I'm facing will probably be Jan 28, and things could get more - not less - hectic and worrisome until then.
A few items on my calendar the early part of the week:
tomorrow - clean up early, because d2ndsisil and my little niece9 would like to come visit (niece is the one with a few little presents still here). And I'll call ds to let him know they are here, so we'll have 3 children playing together and hopefully bonding at least a little.
Tuesday - I promised to take my second oldest dgirlcousin to visit our Dear Aunt of the Many Aprons. Car needs to be spiffy by then, somehow. I need to remember some questions I want to ask, while not getting too involved with that since it will be boring to dcousin. Some church Desk Day came up, too, believe it or not.
Wednesday - get a large package ready to send to dd37, and hopefully get out to send it.
I don't understand why I can't have a pocket just because I have ovaries.
Somebody invent software that can make whatever you type into it look like needlepoint, so when I say, "somebody should needlepoint that", it will be vaguely possible.
