January 2023. Almost over. For some of us the first month of retirement is done (result: loves it). Others broke their foot (meh). Others had Covid. For others, me, the month with the most sick days is ending. January was all about hot toddies (fighting that bad flu). And tequila (the only medicine to stop diarrhea). Rest. Sleep. Netflix. Books. Cups of tea. Jars of honey. Hubbies home cooked meals (and now I passed it on to him. Sorry…).
And when I just look out of the window, it starts snowing again. Best to snuggle in and enjoy that fire.


The good thing about winter: it’s just me (you) and my (your) thoughts. No bad feelings for lying on the sofa & reading. Or watching another series. I have been reading 6 (!) books so far this year (have the feeling I may overachieve my resolution for this year (12 books)). It makes me very happy that I found the pleasure and the time for reading again.

The winter, my alibi! No regrets for not leaving the house (and still already looking forward to spring 🌷).
