Life: It Goes On - January 18

Happy Sunday! It's grey and windy outside today, but it is above freezing and looking at the weather inWisconsin  reminds me that this is pretty darn good weather for January. 

Very frustrated today with trying to work on this post. For some reason Google wasn't allowing me to access or upload photos from my computer. I think what I've found is merely a work around, but I'll take it for now because I'm so frustrated. I absolutely hate when computer issues burn up hours of a day - anything I could have found to do instead would have felt more productive. 

Last Week I: 

Listened To: I finished Diane Keaton's Brother and Sister and Maggie O'Farrell's I Am, I Am, I Am - both so good. Next up, Nita Prose's The Maid's Secret. 

Watched: NFL football, college basketball (our Huskers are now 18-0, which is unprecedented in school history and very exciting!) and several more episodes of The Morning Show. 

Read: I finished Anna Quindlen's More Than Enough and I'm more than half way through Tayari Jones' Kin. 

Made: A ground turkey and rice Mexican dish, pasta with homemade beef/sausage marina sauce and I used the rest of that sauce with ricotta stuffed jumbo shells. 

Enjoyed: A brief visit with my brother, who stopped by on Tuesday to spend the night, and dinner and dessert with friends last night.

This Week I’m:  

Planning: I've finally gotten my bullet journal for 2026 ready and my last pages were to set up for Go-Simplified's decluttering plan for the year and 40 Bags in 40 Days, which starts February 18th. So I'm geared up to start this year's decluttering work. I fell behind last year, when my depression got bad, so there's more to do this year. Winter is a great time to get going since I have no interest in being outside of the house. 

Thinking About: Finalizing my dad's estate in the next couple of weeks. I'll be glad to have it done, but it will also be a hard reminder that my dad is gone. 

Feeling: Lazy, to be honest. I was feeling productive until I got stymied by this computer issue. And now I don't feel like doing much of anything. 

Looking forward to: Book club this week. 

Question of the week: How are we all doing making it through winter this year?
