The long month is past

We pretty much just got a bunch of rain with a little snow mixed in. Our outside temp gauge, that we can view on a little monitor screen from inside the house, said it was 32 when I got up, so not sure how water was running out the gutters, LOL.

I have a sink full of dirty dishes to clean up and load in the dishwasher this morning, but I'll wait until dh is up so I'm not making a racket. I just didn't feel like cleaning up after dinner last night, for some reason. It felt like a long week, and I was tired. When I saw the sink full when I got up this morning, I was like "oh ya....ugh" haha. I also want to change/wash the sheets today - again - have to wait for dh to get up.

Mid last week I got started on following up on old stuff at work and made pretty good progress, so that felt really good. Boss was happy, too. Nice to finally have the time to get to it, though if I am going to keep up on it regularly now (hopefully, because sis is such a great help) I really need to figure out a better system of keeping track of it all, what I'm still waiting to get replies back, etc. So far I am just running some reports (broken out in groups) and adding notes and comments directly onto the pdf's and saving those. Then I can go back and see what notes I made, how it was resolved. I'm also bcc'ing myself in emails I send, so that I don't forget about any of them, and make sure I get a follow up reply.

I got another egg Thursday :) 

I have a feeling February is going to zip by. Spring will be here before we know it. It will be interesting to see if any house building gets started on the lots on the other side of us. There are 3 lots in total (2 with new owners). I know for the 3rd lot, farthest away, I have talked to that owner recently and he said they will be starting in September. He said they are selling their current house to his step daughter and that sale won't go through until then, so that is why they have to wait to get started. I think this couple will be really good neighbors. They purchased the lot back in Sept 2020 and had a 5 year plan, so they seem to be right on track.
