January was brutally busy, start to finish. But, I wasn't as completely wiped out by it as I expected. It must be all the herbs and juices I'm relying on. That and these little spots of brightness. This ginger cordial is great -- has a real kick. The nail polish I indulged in yesterday on the way home from work as it had been a really busy one. The name and the colour are optimistic though, so it's almost medicinal. And I've been wearing this men's cologne lately -- it's lovely.

After a surprisingly optimistic start to the year, I'd like to try to keep that up, even though there are some things that make that a challenge. I think February is something like my new calendar -- there is a down arrow, but there are many more 'up' ones. We have some nice things planned for the weekend, and the doglet and I are concentrating on balancing troughs with peaks. Beginning with a run in the meadow with the rubber balls I suspect (she's very demanding).
