Hello Monday ~ January 26, 2026

Good morning!  No surprise, the topic today is snow as it has affected so much of the country this past weekend.  Here is a glimpse of my snowed in weekend in the south!

Friday after work, I had lunch with a friend then went to my parents house to bring them food and make sure they were okay to be inside the next few days.  I also stopped by my niece's house to see her girls and hung out with another friend that night before coming home.  I knew it would be several days before I would see humans again! Life is funny. The weekend prior, I was saying I would do something this weekend.  Well then the snow came.  Just another reminder life is out my control and a bummer to have another weekend alone.  However, I had time to mentally prepare, so I am doing pretty well so far.  By this afternoon or tomorrow, I may need to get out and see someone though!

I started strong Saturday by organizing my makeup, washing makeup brushes and going through my pantry and kitchen cabinets.  I didn't have too much to go through there since I just moved 2 months ago, but it was still a good time to see what I brought to this house.

I made breakfast....scrambled eggs with crumbled turkey and cheese added, along with sourdough and strawberries. 

Snow and some sleet fell throughout the day. I stayed inside.

For lunch, I had leftovers from Friday's lunch which was a crusted pork loin with mashed sweet potatoes and salad.

I watched tv and had a few sips of this drink. I also talked to Jenn multiple times during the day! I never opened my computer the whole day and it was nice to have a break from it.

I also made some brownies.  It was from an old mix and honestly weren't that great.  It took me eating 2 to decide that :).

I basically spent the rest of the afternoon and well, until close to midnight finishing this puzzle.  This is for you Amy!

Sunday morning felt nothing like a Sunday, but we got more snow overnight and through midday Sunday. Day 2....I can do this. Since I spent the most part of yesterday afternoon sitting working on the puzzle, I started my day with a quick walk on the treadmill.  

For breakfast, I made bacon and had sourdough with it.

Lunch was a frozen pizza.  This is my favorite brand of frozen pizza. They also sell a plain cheese version and a veggie pizza.  I have only seen the veggie version at Costco, but it is sold in a 2 pack and then I usually add pepperoni to it at home. I bought this pepperoni version from Kroger.

I folded clothes, went through a closet, did some computer stuff and then did a little travel planning for a spring trip. Another quiet day and night.

How are you holding up in this cold weather?  I am thankful to have not lost power, for little projects and plenty of food. 

Thanks for reading and stay warm on this Monday! Is it Monday??? Ha!
