How did 3 weeks of January 2025 go by so fast?

 

The weeks slipping by so fast this year has to stop. A leisurely pace allows more gratitude to be recorded. And this year, I want to fill my thankfulness stash to the fullest. If the days spin with more warp than saunter, at my old age, I might lose my balance. 

On a slow note, the tear (made by fabric caught by the lever door handle) of my puffer coat has been repaired with liquid sew for fabric by LoctiteⓇ. Lever door handles may be easier for feeble hands to use, but they are more dangerous for me than they are a help. The biggest danger is when the lever door handle catches inside a sleeve, pulls my arm back and/or throws me off balance. Thus far, I've been lucky to not have a bad injury. Too bad about my coat.

In the weather forecast for this area snow is on the way. The sky looks like it wants to take a nap, smooth gray and white has replaced the sunshine. 

I splurged and bought the economy package of stew meat. Three days of beef stew has been nice. However, I'm ready for any meal without beef! Black bean chili is on today's dinner menu.

My new hair cut at the beauty parlor this year keeps on giving. I continue to be thrilled by how easy it is to style and care for. A feather bob is the way to go. I cut my own bangs though. Last night I hit the pothole of bang's potholes by cutting them too short. For a while they will take on the wind-swept look. 

How is your January going?
