You know that feeling you get when you just want to relax on the couch with your people, your dogs, and a cup of tea…but the guests just can’t take the hint? You know…when you try to telepathically bore your disdain into them, beg them to pick up on your vibes and get the hell out?
That’s how I’m feeling about January right now. I have toleration for about 3 days of January and roughly 7 hours of February. March? I’ll give that month about 6 days before I want it to just disappear. I’m a July person. I don’t have time for these useless months of polar vortices (or vortexes, if you prefer), snow, ice, and anything else that equals COLD.
GIVE ME SUMMER.
This January definitely had notable exceptions, but I’m still done with it. But for some reason, there’s still 8 days left of it. This is unfathomable. It needs to leave.
There were two significant events that helped the month go by quicker than is usual for such a miserable month. One, we took the grandboy Edward on a cruise to celebrate his upcoming 13th birthday. That was an absolute blast! He loved it and we loved that he loved it. Two, I also had a novel release in January.
I would like to think that Edward had the most fun at Perfect Day at Cococay…where we went to the waterpark. The one slide is the tallest in North America. The amount of times he climbed all those stairs to go down that slide is unbelievable. Youth!
But I also know he had a blast with the kids he met at Teen Club. We gave him probably way too much freedom, but he didn’t let us down. He loved it.
We are back now…and basically biding our time in the real world until our next getaway. We loved our week-long getaway with Edward!
I was thrilled to get a delivery upon our return…to see all my hard work in the flesh. Well, in the paper! My books arrived!
Now would be a great time to pick up your copy of I WILL TELL THE NIGHT! Reading definitely helps to alleviate the winter doldrums. It’s available in all AMAZON countries, in either paperback or Kindle. Here’s some links that will make it super easy for you…here’s a selection of countries that visit my site the most, in no particular order. Just click the link! If you don’t see your country, just search for it by title and author…
Now…if we can just make it through to April, all will be good and well! Spring…it’s just around the corner right?
