Finally, January took the hint!

January really felt like it would never end this year. Between the cold mornings, the busy days, and just the general “ugh” of the month, it sometimes felt like I was living the same day on repeat. Even little things like trying to get errands done or just enjoying a quiet moment seemed to take forever. But finally, it’s over! I can’t tell you how good it feels to turn the page to February. Hopefully, this new month brings better days, more energy, and fewer “ugh” mornings. Did anyone else feel like January lasted way too long, or was it just me? Any big plans next month? Photo cracked me up.

Well, I’ll enjoy the last two days of January, but I do look forward to February when it gets here. I at least know it won’t be as cold.

Nice! Enjoy those last couple of January days! Do you have anything special planned for February, or just looking forward to slightly warmer weather?

It was a long January, February is a short month but it can really be very cold here.

@sol_cee - We live in Italy now, we moved here 10 months ago. We sold our big house in Switzerland and moved to an apartment. My husband health is not good, he has serious problems with short term memory, so we came back to our country. We live only 5 Km from Switzerland.

Yeah, January really dragged on. February’s short, but it can still get pretty cold for some, definitely not any easier! Sorry, where are you now? Italy or Switzerland?

@LadyDuck Oh wow, back to Italia, but still not too far from Switzerland! Do you miss your big house? Why did you sell it instead of just renting it out?

I'm not looking forward to February. We can still get significant snowfall in February and the temps can seem just as cold as January. I'm more than ready for Spring to start here.

Yikes, still freezing in February? Do you get any days that actually feel nice, or is it just snow nonstop?

@sol_cee Some years we get almost no winter storms at all and then the dang bugs don't die off and everybody is miserable during the summer. *shrug*

@DaddyEvil Oh no, so it’s either snow or bugs—never easy! Which do you deal with better?

I'm glad it's almost over for you. This month was on speed dial. I started out the month sick with COVID, worked on five books to edit and revise, four for publishing. My head was in a spin most of the time. I think February will be much the same.

Haha wow, your January flew by while mine felt like it would never end. And five books! How do you even decide which book to tackle first when you’re swamped like that?

I agree. In January where I live it was a real downer. Cold freezing weather mixed with ice and snow. Our January will finish with another storm with sleet and snow. One way of coping is looking ahead with positive thoughts. I like your approach. I will do the same.

Ending January with sleet and snow sounds rough—meanwhile, I’m over here in the Philippines where “winter” just means slightly less sweat. I honestly don’t know which is better though.

I feel the opposite. Love the cool days of the month and not looking forward to the warmer days

Why did I say ‘warmer’? I guess I meant better days (edited it). Especially since it’s so cold here in Davao now. Or is it just me struggling with those freezing morning showers lol?
