Good morning/afternoon/evening! January is generally a blasé month; everyone winding down from the holiday season and looking forward to the more engaging months ahead. February brings Carnival/Mardi Gras and opportunities for rowdiness, but January is pretty much a stay-at-home type of month.
Except for me, this week brings three family birthdays: Tomorrow is my son-in-law's, Friday is my sister's, and Saturday is my daughter's. My sister lives in Massachusetts, so I will wish her the best electronically. I have gifts for my kids, the question is when will I be able to present them to them? Probably next weekend.
This week is also an "on" week for me. As the software trainer for my company, I'm on when giving a training, and off when I'm recovering. That means today will be my day for introspection and rest.
My back has been giving me trouble. Standing and sitting can be problematic, but I don't seem to have issues moving about or sitting quietly. It's done this before (maybe I've slept on it awkwardly) and all I can do is let it work itself out. Crossing my fingers.
So, what's on your plate? Is January an up month for you, or a forgettable one?
