 Well, it's a new year, but it's still the same chaos it seems. 

Covid is still here, and we are dealing with the Omicron variant now.  Our household so far has remained covid-free as far as we know, but with how fast and easily this variant spreads, it's likely only a matter of time.  Knock on wood.

And if that wasn't bad enough, Mother Nature has decided to have her way with us this winter season.  What do I mean by that?  Well 2 weeks of -40, and so far 4 days of freezing rain, making the roads incredibly treacherous and so easy to get stuck on.  Today the weather went from above zero and raining, to just under zero and freezing rain, to blowing snow, strong winds and -20C.  So yea, I'm sooooo looking forward to the next couple of days.

I have read 3 books so far this year, with a goal of 24 for all of 2022.  Am listening to one on Audible right now, and reading another.  Last year I read 13!

Also working on a cross stitching project that I should have completed before Christmas....Nearly complete now, just some backstitching left to do.  Goal for stitching is 12 projects this year, as I finished 9 last year!

OK, actually aiming to blog a little more (I always say that, but it is a bit therapeutic to write down stuff), a little bit of self care in blog form.  Since I'm still in physiotherapy due to a small accident in September, I'm not permitted regular exercise that strains my back, nor am I allowed to be teaching first aid classes until I am healed up.  So I will take my self care where I can.  Tarot and Oracle readings included.

Off for tonight, going to attempt to sleep while the wind whips around the house and snow blows all over, limiting visibility and making me question the decision to be a professional driver when roads get this bad.  Oh well, I will do it all again tomorrow, hopefully better!
