I said it last week, and I'll say it again. I am sick of
winter weather. Mother Nature has dropped so much on us these past four
weeks (snow, frigid cold, ice, and more snow). If she had spread it out a
little more over the whole winter instead of one month, I might not be
so irritated. Or maybe I still would be. It's hard to tell. Either way,
I'm thinking the groundhog lied.
Today is
Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean much for me. It's just never
been my thing. Instead, my husband and I celebrate a shared love of
baseball and Pitchers & Catchers Report Day. Both of our teams had
this milestone yesterday, so we've already exchanged gifts. He got me
yellow and red (Cyclone colors!) roses, Reese's PB cups, and a new
Rangers decal for my car (the winter took a toll on the other one). I
gave him an eight-pack of BodyArmor (he loves the stuff and we usually
only buy it when it's on sale), some Girl Scout cookies, and White Sox
headrests for his car. Tonight, we'll probably throw on The MLB Network
while we have dinner.
I feel like all I do
most days is work, workout, work some more, and then sleep. I try to
also cram in some time with Sean, keeping in touch with friends,
reading, and the occasional blog post. It's hard. I keep reminding
myself that I only need to do this two-job thing for another year or so.
It makes the 60-hour work weeks a little easier to tolerate. That said,
when I do see the rare empty day on the calendar, I try to keep it
blocked off. This Sunday is one of those days. So I plan to get
everything done that I need to (laundry, food prep, etc.) on Saturday so
I can spend Sunday watching movies, reading, and playing video games.
Does anyone else have to actually plan lazy time?
The
other day, my hands were itchy and I said to someone, "this is supposed
to mean I'm about to come into some money." They looked at me like I
was strange. Has anyone else heard that old saying? There are other
weird ones too -- if your ears are ringing, someone is talking about
you; if your nose itches, someone is thinking about you; etc. What's a
weird one you've heard? Also, I do hope the itchy hands do mean money is
coming my way. I need it!!
What's on your mind this week?
I have no gauge on the weather anymore, after living in so many different places. It's just like, whatever.
ReplyDeleteThough someone commented on the weather the other day (it was so gross out..wet snow, etc) and I was like, "Well, it's February in Pennsylvania", thinking about how I grew up here. There's so little that's pleasant about winter in Pennsylvania.
