I feel like I haven't accomplished squat this month so far. I saw a meme the other day about pretending February first is January first but I don't even want to wait that long. Things are about to change.

Welcome to Moanday, uh, Monday. Not that it matters all that much to us retired folks. The rest of you need to get your asses in gear and get to work.
Tex, it's a federal holiday here in the US (MLK Day). Unfortunately, it's one that my company doesn't observe.
Oops. My bad. I haven't had the TV on so I'm ignorant on what holidays are when.
If wonder if that throws off the schedules of marauding bears?
Why aren't your bears hibernating?

Global warming.
I've never been a fan of chocolate (cocoa?). But I'll take a coffee please. . . .
I though the term "federal" meant EVERYONE joins in.
Hot chocolate in the USA (almost) = cocoa in the UK. Not as good, though.
That's great but a bit fatty (and too much dominated by evil Nestle now). I use Hershey's baking cocoa with sweetener, light cream, extracts, and spices. And spirits. My Mayan mocha will set you down.I recommend the Mexican version, with finely ground almond and spices.

You can get good drinking cocoa chocolate and cacao in Spain. My wife always brings a couple of tins home when she visits. All I know is that the best stuff comes in an orange can with a picture of a very happy and fat black lady on the front - not PC but there you are.
American chocolate usually contains corn oil - disgusting stuff, only marginally better than Palm oil - which is worse than many animal fats. The Americans, poor sods, have a lot of corn oil in their prepared foods because years ago the Federal government subsidised its use to help corn farmers. A temporary regulation now over 80 years old!
But having said that, Australian Cadbury's chocolate also tastes different to the British version - and they don't use corn oil. I think that most Aussie Chocolate is made in Aotearoa now, which is good because the NZedders make good stuff.

Minus 18 Celsius here and just a little cold. Supposed to get warmer but I'll believe that when I see it.
Cold and snowy here too. So cold they called off school and the food pantry I volunteer at was closed today.
Eating cheesey bread sticks and drinking coffee with my youngest. Just realized I haven't had on real clothes since Saturday! meh...I'm in a funk I can't shake.
