2026 Project 365 – Week Nine

People. It is MARCH. February was simultaneously 50 years long and 2 minutes long. I feel a little discombobulated about it, to be honest. Also I guess we're at war? Oof.
Sunday, February 22^nd              
Sue’s church had a spaghetti lunch fundraiser for the youth and I got to participate. I enjoyed spending time with Dad & Sue, the spaghetti was good, the dessert was excellent, and I got to see my friend Jenny! Side note: I used my hair coloring crayons on Saturday for my church's game night and not a single person commented until I went to work on Monday. The perils of being a brunette - as you can see, it's not all the noticeable. I'm giving them to a little girl at church.

What might have been…
 

Tuesday, February 24^th         
Our backyard chicken. Dr. M looks out the window most days & sees her rootling around in the leaves that he left behind (on purpose because bugs for chickens!).
        

Wednesday, February 25^th           
Every time I wear this sweater I get compliments – and people think I made it. I did not – a coworker found it at a thrift shop & thought it looked like me & she was right!
 

Thursday, February 26^th   
There’s a big sign on that road telling trucks DO NOT TURN RIGHT. This is why – it’s a very sharp, uphill turn and they can’t do it. But about once a quarter or so some nimrod doesn’t pay attention. Fortunately I could turn right to get to work. But get it together man! (I’m assuming it’s a man – ha!)
 

Friday, February 27^th
I pulled my hair back to wash my face at bedtime and started cackling because my hair was giving someone the finger. I’ll bet we know who!
 

Saturday, February 28^th    
Dr. M got some Easter flowers for his mother’s grave, and while he was there he found henbit on an infant’s grave. Spring is getting ready to spring, even amongst sad memories.
 

Speaking of sad memories, today is the 9^th anniversary of our very traumatic move back home to NC. Whew. We kind of try to not remember it, but if you want to relive the drama you can go here.

In other news, my birthday is Tuesday, and Dr. M had the brilliant idea to cook for my family for lunch today. He made pulled pork and it was FABULOUS. So good. We had a lovely lunch with Dad, Sue, and my brother and his wife. I felt well celebrated.
