The *Thing* that I hate about winter…

Isn’t so much the cold, or the blisteringly icy winds, but the fact that it makes my legs itch to the point that I scratch them until I bleed. I’m not sure if I have drier skin than normal, or if I have some sort of condition. But cool/cold weather will make my legs go beet red, and itch so badly I could claw my skin off if I don’t warm up in a reasonable amount of time. I can usually avoid this with two layers of long johns, thick pants, and snow pants, but it didn’t work so well this morning. Mind you I skipped the long John’s in favour of the snowpants. But I’ll have to rethink that later today at school pick up. As I am still sans car, so far more walking to be done until we get the second vehicle back from the shop. Yippy!

I have a long list of items to edit for today. Let us hope we are getting closer, rather than farther from the mark with each successive round of edits. Fingers crossed. Still have the french language versions to do, but I’ll need proper translations for that. Lots of legalese to parse. So best left to the professionals to look after that portion of the project.

Today is Friday, incase you were unaware. Another week into 2023! March has started. And not to mention that March break is just around the corner. Nine days off with the kids underfoot. Yay! Board games, video games, and maple syrup duties. I wonder if any kids movies are out in theaters or newly released on disc. They are too little for much of what I watch on streaming services. Which means the majority of the films I own are unsuitable for kids of their age. Makes a home bound movie date just that much harder to do.

I did manage to sort through three closets this week. Which makes me happy. It was a lot of shuffling materials between them. But I sorted them out, cleaned up the shelves, and segregated the belongings contained within, so that now, I don’t have to worry about the kids getting into my old office attire, or finding expensive sweaters crumpled on the floor of a closet with dirty hand/foot prints on them. I also managed to thin out my eldest t-shirt drawer, full of I’ll fitting shirts, and stuff they won’t wear. You can actually open & close the drawer now! Bonus! Will need to tackle pants next. I think we’ve had a growth spurt as lots of pants don’t go below the ankle any more. Box it up and keep it for the next kid down the line! New stuff in, old stuff out! Gotta keep the line moving. Anyway, I have lots to do today. So I best get cracking. Ciao Bella!
