Bits and Bobs: Feels like Spring Edition

*The weather has been much nicer lately. We've still had some rainy days but the days in between have been sunny and warm. I'm enjoying it very much. Plus no one in my household has been sick for while now. When I go on walks around the neighborhood there's lots of flowers in bloom. The jasmine is particularly lovely.

*We are starting to think about Passover which this year starts on April 19. So far that most means we are trying to eat all the not-kosher for Passover stuff in the freezer in the next couple of week. Also we've been eating lots of pasta. I have also agreed to make 30 blank matzo covers for preschool students to decorate. So I'm planning a trip to the fabric store this afternoon.

*These days I'm much less likely to read a book for very short time than I used to be. I tend to save reading for when I have a least a little chuck of time say at least 15 minutes. I used to be one of those people who carried a book every where and read in a spare amount of time. But now I like to be able to sink into my reading a little bit more, I like getting absorbed and not having to worry about the outside world. Not those little gaps are more likely to be filled with looking at my phone. My reading habits have change quite a bit in a lot of different ways over time which in itself is not surprising but I keep being surprised when I notice. I guess because my image of myself is a reader is big part of my identify.
