January 2019!

Where does the time go? It sounds so stupid now, but I fully intended to write more, especially here, and yet.... Sigh.

Read what I wrote last July and could not believe how much happened in the time in between. Sadly, Huck died. I felt awful; could not stop crying. Ended up not going to any classes or events for over a week. Just couldn't face seeing people being alive and happy and thinking about all the ones I'd lost, especially recently. Then Shadow's health began to decline, and he eventually died December 1st. I just couldn't seem to find my balance and didn't realize it until I pretty much stopped doing anything that I enjoyed or that made me happy. ("One of the saddest things in life is the things one remembers." Agatha Christie)

But life and time goes on and here I am. Brrr... it's winter here. I mean really winter! Our temps have been below 10 degrees lots of nights and some days. And then there's the wind chill which has reduced the temp often. In fact, the experts are warning us again that the wind chill is expected to be so low for the rest of the week that exposed skin will freeze immediately! I am so done with winter. I need to research possible places to go next year for maybe December-January and possibly February, too. Where to go?

Well, I've lost momentum. Agatha Christie is running through my mind; I need to get reading. The Last Mrs. Parrish is the next book for the mystery book group and we're meeting next week. Yikes!
