More Snow!

 Things I am excited about:

• Snow! It snowed a bit in the morning - enough to cover the ground. 
• Going on a walk: I've been trying to go for at least a 30-min walks every day. I don't have time to go to the park this afternoon (the trails would look beautiful...) but it would still be pretty nice to just walk around the neighborhood.
• Watching first season of "His Dark Materials" with kids.
• Reading in front of the fireplace.
• More sledding!
• Drinking tea.
• Snow storm... (but I hope we don't loose power).
• Board games with kids

Things I am not excited about:

• Vacuuming and dusting
• Washing bed sheets
• Potentially taking kids to a local arcade (ugh... covid, noise, video games... but it's a neighbor's half-birthday and they invited us... still deciding if we should go or not).

Things I would like to try:

• Screen-free day. We used to do it on a regular basis back when the kids were doing virtual school - and it worked pretty well. Looking up recipes and other information without resorting to computers or phones was surprisingly invigorating (as in yes! I can function independently!). The fact that I feel a bit anxious about not checking my messages or the news suggests that a screen-free day is definitely a good idea. One of these Saturdays or Sundays! But perhaps after the Olympics.
• Making a new soup. Something that's not lentil, pea, cauliflower, or chicken/matzo ball soup.
• I'd like to do a "streak" of something. Maybe daily walks, or daily piano practice, or daily dusting... something like that. Nothing hard - and something that I already enjoy. I want the streak to last at least a couple of months.
