Monday Moment - Year of the Ox 2021


The Year of the Ox is all about hard work.  Everything I read says that it's nose to the grindstone. 


Well, snow could stop productivity in a heartbeat in Texas.  There are no plows.  I do own a shovel.  But ice covered with snow - that's a game changer.  This weekend we've started at 21 and hit 32. 

Predictions take us into the teens.  Stop the presses.  Stop traffic.  Only 15 minutes away and I may not be going to work.  (Bonus binge day!)

Six more weeks of winter indeed.  2021 is just piling on the joy from 2020.  

Happy Monday - and Chinese/Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day, President's Day, Mardi Gras, and Ash Wednesday - dang - February is busy. 

Does it all involve chocolate?   That's all that matters.  Cheers my friends and celebrate the week any way you can.  Just stay warm and mask up!

  1. Hi Joanne - yes eat chocolate if you've got it - the weather is pretty maggoty everywhere - we're through it now - but snow in Athens, Istanbul and much worse behind the Iron Curtain - though that's no longer there ... we'll be at 17 degC by the weekend I gather.!! Stay safe and don't travel in those conditions ... take care -Hilary

  6. I've been thinking about you. I hope that nasty nasty cold and icing isn't too close to you. Stay warm, dear lady. I'm sure your smile is warm enough to melt hearts, but I dunno how much power you've got against frigid temperatures, so a plan to stay inside while sipping hot chocolate sounds like a good one to me. Maybe a bit of wine.

    Thank you for the Valentine's Day card. You are sweeter than a box of chocolate. :)

  7. Six MORE weeks of teen or young adult angst, frigidity, and well, more and more hot cocoa, Joanne. Because YOU MUST. Survival is key.

    Stay warm and cozy and well sated.
