Life: It Goes On - January 21

Happy Sunday from Omaha, where we appear to have survived the worst winter had to offer us. At least for the next week. It's been a rough couple of weeks which have seen us mostly hunkered down, trying to stay off terrible roads and out of the terrible cold. You all know me well enough to know that it was no skin off my nose to not leave the house for a couple of weekends, but The Big Guy can only be cooped up for so long before he has to get out of the house, so last evening we braved the last day temps in the negative numbers to go out to dinner to a new-to-us place. Was it worth it? No, no it was not. Other than BG was content to then come home and just stream some shows. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I finished Children of God and started Paulette Jiles' Chenneville. 

Watched: Football...lots of football. College basketball. Some Daisy Jones and The Six, Ted Lasso, and Slow Horses. 

Read: Melanie Benjamin's latest, California Golden and The Book of Fire. 

Made: A new recipe for chicken pot pie, a chicken pasta dish, lasagna, and cookie bars. And, once again, we have enough leftovers to last us well into this week. 

Enjoyed: Mini-him and Miss C came to lunch today before the four of us headed over to my dad's apartment to do some sorting and prepping for his move. We always enjoy spending time with the two of them. 

This Week I’m:  

Planning: Finishing up prepping for my dad's move since the movers start packing on Thursday. And then I'm back to the working on decluttering my own home. 

Thinking About: I rather impulsively reorganized and decluttered several kitchen cabinets yesterday and got rid of quite a few things, including 11 wine glasses. I still have more than 20. Why did I have so many wine glasses that it meant other things were housed in very inconvenient places? How many other things am I holding on to that mean other things that I would like to use more aren't easy to get to when I want them? 

Feeling: Productive. 

Looking forward to: Temperatures in the thirties this week with no snow in the forecast. 

Question of the week: Just out of curiousity, how many wine glasses do you have?
