Jan 2025

I picked a bad time to cut down on my daily glass of wine. Trying to at least limit it to maybe 2 or 3 times a week. However, I do have my sleep gummies. Get to sleep, stay asleep. relax.

We've dropped Joe and Mica right after they bent the knee. Now it's just The Weekend and maybe an hour of Nicky. Although I am going to start recording Rachel now that she's back.

Limit my time on different news sites.

Immersing myself in 15th century England. War of the Roses. Richard, Edward, Henry...all the gang.

Not buying anything we don't absolutely need. MY 2015 Subaru hasn't even gotten to 50,000 mile yet so no new car for awhile.

Keeping bills down. Paying off mortgage. Fun stuff.

BritBox and Acorn and PBS.
