...February : The List...

Thank goodness for another clean slate, courtesy of a new month.

January...did not go as planned...

The first part spent in "quarantine" as one, then another and another of us got sick...plans postponed, then cancelled and mourned.  Schedules re-scheduled, then abandoned all together.

As a result, we spent the second half of the month...the "recovery mode" portion, playing catch up on the basics...work and appointments and early intervention and therapies and volunteer commitments all getting crammed into the few remaining days. 

Is it any wonder that I'm starting off this new month feeling equal parts frantic and frustrated?

But, I have a plan.

Or, rather...plans...

Some of which, as you can see, are simply "forwarded" from last month to this one,
whether for want of real, heavy winter snowfall and freezing temps,
or because we just didn't manage to squeeze them in.  

Here's to hoping we get each one checked off this time around!

Cheers to a new month, and new possibilities!
