Almost February

[hannalovescats]

Alright, another weekend, no snow thankfully. There has been talk of a potential blizzard hitting us this weekend and I was just saying "NOOO" after the foot and a half of snow we got last weekend. It's been super frigid cold since then too so nothing has really melted much. We spent last Sunday inside, just curled up on the couch. I was reading and Mike was watching football. A low key relaxed day. And Monday we had to dig ourselves out from the snow. And of course our car was in the city garage. They also left the parking ban in effect on Monday so Mike had to park the car in the garage again on Monday night as well after not being able to get into our driveway. Since then we have just been parking on the street. A street over from us because our own street is pretty skinny at this point with all the snow piled on the sides. Fun fun. I am ready for a spring thaw but yeah I know, we still have all of February to go too. Guess we will just see how it goes. 

Today spending the day binging the new Bridgerton season. Watched one episode so far and enjoyed it. I also have a new book to read. "Famous Last Words" by Gillian McAllister. Plenty of tea. So yeah that's my plans for today. Too cold to do anything outside. 

Tomorrow we will go to brunch. February 1 which marks the end of Dry January. :) Looking forward to a glass of wine. Or an espresso martini. Tomorrow are also the Grammy's which we will watch so that should be fun. Today I think we will watch "One Battle After Another", the new Leo movie that is nominated for all sorts of awards. 

Well, that's about it. Not too much else new. Finished all of my reviews at work so that's a big weight off my shoulders. Next week we have somebody new starting in our department who will report to me and then the following week another new hire. Exciting. Looking forward to it! And hopefully, as long as the weather cooperates, we will also have the person from Pittsburgh fly in the week after next (where we had to reschedule from last week with the snow) 

And in non work related things, our wedding anniversary is also coming up. February 10th - 25 years. Crazy. I really don't know how that is even possible. How can so much time have gone by? I have now lived in the US longer than I lived in Austria. Bizarre. 

Mail Update: A letter went out to Celia/CT this past Tuesday.
