January, that blessed month of ho-hum and grind. A relief after December. We are back to school. Back to work. November viruses finally vanquished. Coffee pot perking and tea pot whistling.
Time for:
- Quiet, gray days of drizzling freezing rain.
- Studying.
- Eating down the cupboards of all the odd holiday ingredients that were left unused.
- Music substituting for sunrises because it's still dark when the day must start.
- Studying.
- Stews and soups for lunch.
- Ginger cookies.
- The gym instead of freezing walks.
- Reading novels because it's dark by 4:30 p.m.
- Studying.
- Watching Lord of the Rings, the extended version.
- Starting over through the Bible.
- Stir-crazy children leaping on furniture.
- Fixing furniture.
- Studying some more.
- Quiet hobby-ing.
- Wondering what the neighbor's heating bill is after listening to her unit crank through the night with nary a pause.
