February was a whirlwind of a month, and March is also shaping up to be a good - but busy - month.
During February, the Man of the House was gone most of a week for work, but I was able to visit with my younger sister during that time. We spent a lovely day at the Biltmore Estate where we enjoyed a delicious lunch and the DaVinci Experience exhibit. The husband and I celebrated a low key - but very nice - Valentine's Day. And we put plans into motion to begin some major - and much needed - renovations to the exterior of our house.
The best day of February was obviously the day our second grandson entered the world! Our daughter's family was over the night before to have dinner and leave our older grandson with us, since they were scheduled to be at the hospital at 5am the next morning for a scheduled induction. I awoke at 4:30am to a text from our son in law that she had gone into labor and Henry had already been born!
I did not manage to complete my monthly reading list during February. So The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood will be added to the TBR list in an upcoming month. My list for March is: The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman, The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell, and A Duty to the Dead by Charles Todd.
The work we plan to do on the outside of our home should be progressing this month, starting with replacing the roof. There will then be a pause in the work while we wait for the new windows and patio doors to arrive since those will need to be installed before they start work on the new siding and gutters. It's a lot of work, but I am so excited about what the end result will look like!
Inside, I am still slowly chipping away at getting my home office cleaned and reorganized. I've reached this awkward place in the process where I'm not really sure where to go from here. I go in, look around, shuffle a few things, then get discouraged and overwhelmed. I think I have reached a tipping point where it's gone past purging and minor organizing and it's time to make some major decisions and changes.
Yesterday was my mom's birthday. And next weekend our son in law celebrates his birthday.
Lots of appointments are scheduled for this month. Max has his semiannual exam and vaccinations. I'm scheduled for a dental cleaning, as well as my annual physical. Oh... And my car is scheduled for its suggested maintenance.
Like I said... a busy month!
My goals for March are:
- Clean out the drawers in my bathroom
- Journal everyday
- Clear the work table and desk in home office
- Move futon out of home office
- Walk stairs every day for a little exercise
