You&#8217;d think a short month wouldn&#8217;t have such an affect on me, but it usually does.<\/p>\n<p> Usually, it&#8217;s cloudy, rainy, cold, with little snow (but often with ice). We usually have few breaks in school at this time and spring break looks so far away. Valentine&#8217;s Day arrives and reminds me that I&#8217;m single and likely always will be (most months this isn&#8217;t a problem, but add that to a dreary mood and there ya go). Past couple of years have had my folks in California. <\/p>\n<p> But this year it&#8217;s been a good February. The Olympics, of course, is a mood improver for me. We&#8217;ve had 6 days off due to SNOW (yesterday and today being Calamity Days 7 &#038; 8). The folks may have moved last November, but only to the next town over. Heh. VD came &#038; went with little fuss.<\/p>\n<p> So this has been a good February. I like having a positive mood for February. Oh sure, I&#8217;ll be a little sad that we have no Spring Break this year, but hey, Feb&#8217;s almost over, and then it&#8217;s basically March and April and we&#8217;re done! <\/p>\n<p> Today was especially indulgent. I watched the first curling match for the US today on TV, while also watching Great Britain&#8217;s first match on my laptop. And I&#8217;ve even been working toward my thesis. Go figure!<\/p>\n<p> Women&#8217;s curling starts shortly. Woohoo! I&#8217;ll double-dip that as well. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some reason, February is usually my worst month of the year.
