#MicroblogMondays: Olympic hangover

The Olympics are over, and I'm both sad -- and relieved. I love the Olympics, and I especially love the winter version -- there's figure skating!! (Plus curling, hockey and other good stuff to watch.) Our Canadian athletes usually do pretty well, and they came home with 21 medals -- not their best showing, but not bad either.  And it's a welcome distraction from the cold and gloom of February.  

But -- 17 days of wall-to-wall coverage does get to be a bit much after a while...!  (Although -- being in Canada, we did have excellent coverage through CBC and its partner cable networks, including several TSN and Sportsnet channels, as well as CBC's free Gem streaming service, which showed ALL the events.)  I feel like I haven't done much else, and am now even further behind on my to-do list than I was when we got back home, after a full month away in Manitoba over Christmas (which included my mother's sudden death & funeral).  

But as dh remarked near the end of the two weeks, "Sometimes I get bored with my regular routines... until I'm out of them!"  lol  I had to agree!  

How about you?  Sad or glad, or a bit of both?
