Currently in {January}

Loving: A new year. A fresh start. I don't mind January. It's always a great time to reset slowly. While I don't have big plans for drastic sweeping changes, it's the perfect chance to make some tweaks to my schedule and routines. Who knows? Maybe This Will Be The Year where I finally start getting up early. 

Lake Ontario last week

Resolving: I posted some resolutions here. I would also like to get back to posting actual food/recipes and some real content on this blog. Sometimes I cannot stand to be on the internet looking for recipes because I'm so tired of the ads on food blogs. I spent some time looking at actual cookbooks over Christmas and maybe that's the way forward, being analog again. So while I'm waiting for the Instagram bubble to burst, here's hoping the food blog bubble with pop-ups/clutter/ads/videos also bursts!

Planning: Planning out the 3rd quarter of homeschool. Here's where I reviewed Q2 and gave some thoughts on Q3. I feel a lot more optimistic about the workload, given that we did finish in just 3 hours yesterday. 

Eating/Drinking: Really boring stuff like drip coffee, oatmeal, granola and yogurt, chicken caesar wraps...On Sunday I made beef stroganoff, Monday was Indian butter chicken, tonight is chicken gnocchi soup. I found many recipes in this cookbook while I was at my parents' house but I have no idea where my mom got it because I can't find it on Amazon. 

Over Christmas break, I had the best buffalo wings in Buffalo and then this drink was a gin/sprite/cranberry something or other. 

Reading/Watching: I hit my goal for 2025 on Goodreads and bumped it up for 2026. Why not? 

As for watching...all the football. We just got a 7-day pass to Sling so we don't miss any college games this weekend. We were used to having ESPN at my parents' house. My birthday is this weekend and there's like 8 games on the schedule so I think that's what we're doing for Wild Card weekend. 

There's a lot of good TV coming back this month, so while we finished Mayor of Kingstown (very good), we are finishing Landman (meh on season 2), and we are rewatching The Night Manager (Prime) because after 10 years (!), it's back for season 2 this weekend. The Pitt (HBO) is back this week as well for season 2.
