January

 

*Worth recommending to others

Physical therapy for my neck was added to my schedule with mixed results.

Kristil and I met daily for a virtual yoga practice.

They've been dubbed Double Trouble 

Their house had frozen water lines for an entire week. Lauren opted to stay in order to maintain routine for her son and puppy. They visited frequently for water jug refills and showers. Kate decided our guest rooms looked pretty inviting and spent several days with us.

We missed one day for weather and had two delayed starts in the same week. Negative temperatures took the win that week. I didn't mind the extra rest.

While soaking one evening, Lauren called asking if she could shower. I not only left the candles burning but added more and insisted she take her time. Only a mother understands the necessity of a few minutes in silence.

Post snow play hot cocoa. We didn't last long in sub zero wind chills but running in the sunshine was good for our souls.

We lost power in the night and within a few hours had lost eleven degrees in the house. Once sunlight filtered through the windows I noticed how sweet my snuggle buddy looked under the covers. At one point, the smoke detectors were chirping. Diesel howled along with them. It was quite an orchestra only I appreciated. 

I gave up my daily soft drink and at times had really strong feelings. It had been insanely cold for days and for some reason, the 0 degrees that was nine degrees warmer than the prior day really ticked me off. 

He not only has zero awareness of personal space but he also cannot imagine someone not needing kisses.

Lauren is exhausted. Also, we own more than one chair.

Erin and Evan hosted lunch one Sunday for all of us and I loved touring the updates they've made around the house. The framed vows are beautiful in every way.

This one swiped some of Erin's "Galentine Day" accessories. He is a mess. 

Crack head energy at 5am.
