Warm Weather Hygge

By definition, hygge (hooga) according to the Denmark website is about "taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures."   There's a fun little book I read on vacation back in 2018 called The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living and I loved it so much, I bought one as soon as I got back.  There was actually nothing more relaxing than reading that little book curled up on the couch in the sunroom with a cup of tea and is one of my favorite memories of that trip.

When I saw this was going to be our last day with relatively high temps, I told the Mr when he got home we were walking for our workout.



I needed to get out of the house.  I needed to be with my brethren...

For dinner I made fish with pineapple salsa and half a sweet potato.  It was nice to be done with dinner 30 minutes before Jeopardy.  I swear we almost always end up eating between 7:30-8pm.

What's up with that!?  Oh wait, it's not complete unless I say..."oooooh, weeee!...."

Tell me one random thing about yesterday.

  6. We had nearly 12 inches of snow yesterday, another six so far today, with more on the way tonight and tomorrow. Oh and we have a blizzard warning, for the third day in a row. Ready to pull my hair out, or book a flight somewhere, anywhere.
