😴 It is time!

😫 4.5 hours of sleep. Definitely not in a very good frame of mind so far today...taking a few walks throughout the day to keep my head clear, coffee for sure, and a solid wind-down routine later this evening to support a healthy night of rest.

Ice is just about completely melted from the Susquehanna river.

3am trips to the post office. Material for a chapter in a future book.

☕ Working through some computer-based tasks this morning, giving the sun a bit more time to rise before heading out for my walk.

Putting another pause on new orders so that I can catch up on the post-Christmas influx.

Beginning in February I absolutely need to bring on a part-time person to help with admin tasks, at least start with outlining what that role looks like, etc.

1. A new week
2. A great weekend with Mozzie
3. Feeling hopeful

🍸 Closing the weekend 🖋️

🏠 Planning to move in a few months, not buying for several reasons, most important being that I'm still figuring out exactly how I want to embark on that portion of life again. So, more renting. Either way, it will be nice to find a place that is a bit more "home like".

From this afternoon’s walk, the John Harris Mansion.

Enjoyable watching the Packers game tonight. Close game, just not meant to be. Hopefully more consistent next season.
