It’s the second week of the new year, and I am just trying
to hunker down & make it through without losing my mind over our inane
& terrifying president. Biggest sigh ever.

January 7th
The penguin hat made its first appearance of the year. Like
most of the country, we were in the deep freeze for parts of the week. In fact, our average temperature for today was 18 degrees!
The birds are very appreciative of Dr. M!

Return of the Duck.
And the person who has been training me at work LEFT ME ALL
ALONE.

Icy river. Tell me again, we did
move to North Carolina, right?

Squirrel!
Twins – right?

The only picture I took today –
I was pointing out some weird thing my hair was doing.

Frankly, these things are pretty
scary to me. I’m glad to be finished with my “Poppy Troll Period.”

My super nutritious lunch.
Dr. M started packing up my office equipment to send back to
my former employer. I was feeling a bit sad, but then he used penguin duct tape
to seal it. Hahahaha!
Another week, another beanie.
Although the things that I'm anxious about haven’t changed
yet, I’m feeling much calmer this
week. I think it helps that I feel like I can do a good job in my new position.
That’s really the only thing I can control, so I’ll focus my energy there.
On another note, I had two New Year’s resolutions this year:
1. Drink more water, and 2. Go to bed earlier. I am doing a TERRIBLE job with
both of them! I don’t know about the water (I haven’t counted), but my Fitbit
tells me I’ve been getting around 6.5 hours of sleep per night during the week.
Did you make any resolutions? How are you doing with them?
I agree. the poppy hats are a bit terrifying. we're fixing to have another three days of frigid weather. same resolution as last year and the year before...5 sun salutations a day.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder about you and how you feel about the cold weather in the South, having moved from cold, frozen Ohio to ... well ... cold, frozen North Carolina.
ReplyDeleteMy Fitbit tells me the same thing, 6.5 hours on average. I'd like to get to 7.5 hours per night, or at least 7. Why is that so difficult?
Those troll hats...yikes! I hope they are making their owners happy.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are having such cold weather in NC, but at least you're not shovelling snow. There is that little blessing!
My super nutritious lunch.
ReplyDeleteNo worse than the usual honey bun and Pepsi I get in the morning coming home from work.
You're in NC??? I have to look back to see if you said where, and when did y'all move???
ReplyDeleteLOL -- those poppy hats ARE a bit scary. I love the penguin duct tape, though! Glad you're settling into the new gig!
ReplyDeleteYou should have moved to balmy Arizona if you didn't want that frigid weather. I love the penguin hat, by the way, and . . like the birds . . I appreciate Dr. M's efforts.
ReplyDeleteThat penguin tape made me laugh. Of course, penguins generally make me laugh. Have you read this wonderful penguin story? I can't get enough of it.
ReplyDeleteBTW, some of your beanies look knitted. Have you switched?
