Can you believe that January is already over? I feel like we just celebrated New Year’s Eve. Gah. I can’t be the only one. But here we are, it’s January, 31st and we’re doing the monthly recap. Let’s do this. READ Three books! 2020 reading is off to a pretty good start. One of the…
1. My sister sent me a hand-sewn heating pad for Christmas (I love that she’s also crafty when she has the time!) and it’s been my best friend for the last few weeks. We like to keep our home on the cooler side, so I heat this up at night and take it with me…
I am glad to link up with Kookyrunner and Zenaida for Tuesday Topics today, as I was planning to share my favorite reads from 2019 with you anyway. I only read 27 books last year, less than half than the previous year, none of them running books, but that’s ok. Reading is not a competition (at…
Go skiing (and snowboarding). Guess what, I already checked that off my list last week when I went to Tahoe with some friends. Skiing is secretly always on my goals’ list. It’s a real shame that I live two hours from the snow and go so rarely. I want to change that. It’s hard to…

Last year, I skipped the spending report for the 4th quarter of the previous year, because I didn’t get around to analyze it before January was over and then it made more sense to do the annual spending report for the whole year. This year I am trying to wrap up the quarterly spending, before…
The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery (★★★☆☆) This was the only book I finished in December. It was a drawn-out read. I learned some amazing things about octopuses that I didn’t know (they have a beak, the are red when excited and white when calm, they only lay eggs once – at the…
It’s not too late to recap my running year 2019, or is it? This was my 5th full year as a dedicated runner and I felt pretty good about my running year. Overall, it was a slower year than before. I ran fewer miles and fewer races, but I stayed – once again- injury free,…
