If January was all about decluttering, February was all about illness and injury. Meh. But also, birthdays and parties!!
This was the month I found out I probably need knee surgery. We had a quick round of a stomach bug with H. Adam needs to have more dental surgery soon. And I’ve been snowed under by a nasty cold/sinus infection for the past few days. But, I’m getting there! On the mend.
I’ve been so sick this week and out of commission since Monday afternoon. I felt somehow inundated and not-quite-myself at work on Monday, which was supposed to be the kickoff to Read Across America at school. We had a delayed opening because of snow and ice, and the day’s events were rescheduled…to Wednesday, when I was home sick with the stomach flu.

October is when I realized that my new khakis are not working for me. Also, I really love khakis. But they do not always love me. Also, even though October is my favorite month, I’ve been sick for most of it.
January brought its “A” game this year. It’s normally my least favorite month of the year; I’m over the snow and cold by month’s end, someone in the house almost always gets sick, and it just feels like it goes on forever. The bright spot exception is my very best good friend Laura Ann’s birthday, and I forgot it this year. Go home, January! You’re drunk!
It’s been snowing. Like, all the time.
I’ve been home sick for 3 days with sinus and upper respiratory infections that I just can’t shake. I am behind on life: planning birthdays, work stuff, life stuff, house stuff, taxes, Downton Abbey. And blogging. I had this great new organizational system going to keep my life on track in 2013, and that included planning out my blog posts. But, that did not happen this week. And since either Adam, H, Adam’s mom, my mom, or myself have been sick and here at some point since New Year’s, suddenly it’s more than halfway through January and I’m still playing catchup! So, this is my first playlist of 2013. It’s made entirely using Spotify, which Adam has me hooked on. I may never buy an album again. But I have to get used to this idea of adding music I already own to my Spotify playlists. This is good and bad. It means there is a lot of new stuff on here that is entirely random and just struck my fancy. But, I am also a creature of habit.
