And then the red balloon flew up into the sky.

Is it really already February the day after tomorrow?

Really?

The weekend has been quite lovely. I finally had a good night of sleep
which lead to a much better mood
and some good times.

Friday evening was dinner with friends that we haven't seen in a long time.

And then beers in the kitchen with other friends that we haven't seen in a long time.

Both events were perfect and it felt so nice to be around
awesome people. (Must do this more often!)

I was up later than usual and didn't get much sleep, but I felt so good on Saturday morning.

More alive than I have felt in awhile. Probably because I stepped out of hermit mode and had some fun.

I took two walks this weekend. One with Will and one by myself.

Another thing I should more often. Leave the house.
(Running in the morning doesn't count.)

I worked some too, but mostly I didn't work and it's been good. I need to have weekends like this more often.

The sunshine and warm temperatures certainly helped as well. Not looking forward to the below 10 degrees lows that are predicted for the coming week, but I am hoping that the snow forecasts are true. We need moisture here so badly.

I still can't believe tomorrow is the last day of January.

I plan to run, water my plants and go to the post office to mail four very special packages that I hope will bring smiles to some faces. Not sure what else the day will bring and that makes me smile.
