Hello February

And Happy Groundhog Day!

Oh, Phil, you little Punxatawny prankster--6 more weeks? Really?

It doesn't look like winter in the Northwest today. It rather feels Springy, but I know it's bound to change again as it does. And Phil wouldn't lie, would he? Unless he can only guess so much as Pennsylvania is concerned. Should I get my hopes up?

Happy February to you all!

Nothing so new to report here. My plan of (in)action today was to take advantage of the sun by walking downtown to the coffee shop and nestle into a new book before work at 6:30. However, domestic things and little time wasters happened, and so I will instead read at home, and perhaps brew another cup to keep me alert tonight.

For those of you that also have fly-by-the-seat schedules, how do you make yourself productive in the meantime? Sometimes I rather enjoy the changes in schedule, the free mornings or midweek weekends. But every time I think I have something worked out it changes. Meals are irregular, sleep is aplenty but here and there. Often I feel like I'm just waiting to go into work. And on these days, heading to work when the dusk settles in, I get the yawns. Hm.

Is anyone excited for Valentine's Day?
At the store we have been touting the holiday since New Year. It isn't a big deal to me, but I'm not angry about its mushiness or commercialism either. If people want to hang big hearts in their windows and give out chocolates, I am all the merrier. Any plans?

*Yawn* It's happening already...perhaps a wee nap before I go. ;)
