January started off really nicely for me. I haven’t watched TV in about a week, which has given me a TON of extra time for new projects. That’s good, because I tend to jump into new projects with both feet.
But the grey January-ness is finally getting to me. Well, I can’t really just blame the weather. I finally caught my husband’s illness. I haven’t entirely succumbed to it, but it is wearing me down. Scratchy throat, congestion, headache. And we have been dealing with some truly obnoxious German bureaucracy. More headache. I’ll try to write about that when I’m in a better mood (read: once we have struggled through the red tape and resolved the issue).
For now, I’m off to eat some comfort food: chicken wings, carrot sticks, and ranch dressing. I’m in love with the pre-spiced chicken wings from Netto. They actually have some nice zing, and they are perfect for days when nobody has the energy to prepare dinner.
