#MicroblogMondays: Small pleasures & annoying things


Small pleasures: 
  • Visiting our adorable little Great-Nephew this weekend and getting to see him sneeze (!) and smile (he has dimples!). 
  • Clear blue sky & sunshine today, after a dump of 17 cm of snow (6-7 inches) on Saturday. 
    • Being thankful that I don't live in Newfoundland, where they had hurricane-force winds and 80-90 cm (about 32-35 inches) of snow on Friday (!). 
  • Binge-watching 11 hours of figure skating on TV this weekend (!) (Canadian national championships) and seeing some talented youngsters claim spots on the podium for the first time. 
  • Lindor chocolate on sale at the grocery store. :) 
  • Getting a good start on my 2020 Goodreads Reading Challenge. 
Annoying things: 
  • (Blue skies & sunshine today aside) Grey, overcast, COLD weather lately. (Yep, it's January...) 
  • Pulling up all the blankets on the bed at night because I'm cold... and then having to throw them off because I'm sweltering.  :p  (Lather, rinse, repeat...) 
  • Not having our condo's driveway/parking lot plowed out until around 10 p.m. on Saturday night, about 12 hours (!) after it started snowing (& the main road outside wasn't much better). Isn't this what we pay condo fees and property taxes for?? 
  • Playing telephone tag with the hospital/breast screening centre, trying to get a routine mammogram booked.

  1. Enjoy the chocolate - sounds yummy! Nice to have some sun - winter really does get truly grey and blah. Will look forward to hearing about the books your reading. Awwwwwwww to great-nephew sneezes and smiles - very cute.

    Ughhhh and sorry about the hospital phone tag, that sounds really frustrating. As does the lack of plowing.

  2. I love these posts.

    Chocolate and books, when snowed in, sounds about perfect.
    Hope you get the mammogram sorted out. We get appointments sent to us when we're due, which at least means we don't have to remember!
    And I can relate to the cold/hot blankets on/off several tiimes a night routine. Sigh. Hope it doesn't last too long.

  4. Oh my gosh! Newfoundland is no joke. We had a big snow storm here too this weekend (Minnesota) so I'm glad you didn't get buried too much. Chocolate sounds divine!
