After a freezing winter, the past couple of weeks have been down to -13C, today was beautiful. The temperature got up to 17C and was like a heat wave. After being stuck inside for so long, we decided to venture out to take a walk and get some fresh air. We ventured down to the Alt Stadt area to walk along the Rhine and explore a bit.

We tried to be as careful as possible, but there were more people out than I had expected, given that most things are closed. I guess that everyone else had the same idea, after being cooped up for weeks and months during the cold and just wanted to get out and get some sun.

Celebrating my birthday now will forever be bittersweet. However, this year I guess that I am supposed to learn the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. So, there’s that. 😬

Emma asked me to play with her and when I asked what she wanted to play, she said church. We then had to set up some of her toys as the congregation and Daddy Pig was the pastor. 😂

I love her creativity. 🥰

Watched church service on YouTube this morning. When it was over, Emma(3) says, “Yay, I like that show.” 😍

I had planned to do more writing at the beginning of the year. I had thought that would be here on my blog. Instead, I revived my journaling and have been pleased that I have a pretty good streak going. This is the most consistent that I’ve been for a long time.

I do still want to write more on the blog, but I’m still pleased at this start.

It was a nice morning waking up to some snow. Building a snowman and making snowballs was so much fun. 🥰

I have been very slack on keeping up with my email. Letting my inbox get a bit out of control again. Taking a few minutes to sit down and triage and get it back in order is kind of refreshing.

Praying for a peaceful end to this.

I shouldn’t be surprised about what is happening in D.C. right now, but I really can’t believe that this is actually happening. This is like a coup attempt to try and steal power just because you don’t like the outcome of the vote.

I know that sidebars on iPad are not new, but I really like the updated sidebar behavior and design in iOS 14. The more that I see it used, it makes seeing a tab bar on the iPad look outdated.
