Well, we are 13 days into 2017 and I am FINALLY feeling almost healthy again! This cold/flu/whatever has really been hanging on. It's mainly just been my throat/voice, but I was also really congested for a while. Something funny/weird about Guinness is that he completely freaks out when I cough.. He doesn't freak out when Kevin coughs, but he really panics when I do. That usually isn't a problem, but when I have a weeks-long cough, it becomes a big problem! He tries to either climb into my lap or into Kevin's lap, and it isn't usually gentle! I got a picture of him sitting on Kevin after I coughed:
Kevin had to quickly move his laptop so Guinness didn't sit on it...
And now Kevin's comforting poor panicked Guinness (all because I coughed...)
As a result of this stupid illness, we had a VERY low-key New Year's Eve and barely made it til midnight (but we did!), and the next day I was not feeling well enough to go into the city for the parade. Kevin didn't want to go to the parade without me, so we stayed home on New Year's Day for the first time in 4 or 5 years. We had a leisurely day of watching movies and just hanging out at home, and Kevin kept a nice warm fire going in our fireplace all day.
Those are all of our Christmas cards above our fireplace!
We also had our first decent snow of the winter last weekend! We got a few inches last Thursday, and then on Saturday we also got about 3 inches. Guinness looooooved playing in the snow in our yard! He loves the snow. But yesterday it was 60 degrees (whaaaat?!) so all of the snow has melted and everything is just super muddy now. This is such a weird winter so far. They're saying we might get more snow this weekend even though yesterday was 60 degrees.
Catching a frisbee!

Happy boy!
I'm not sure how many of you follow football, but I think most of my friends/family know that I'm a big Chargers fan... so yesterday was a sad, sad day for me. The Chargers announced yesterday that they're officially moving to Los Angeles. So... I'm pretty bummed about that. It's such a dumb decision... They definitely should have stayed in San Diego, and I feel like it's a big middle finger to their fans. I can't be a fan of a Los Angeles team... I just can't do it. So, I think me and the Chargers have to break-up. So, if you need me for the next week I'll be in my pajamas eating ice cream out of a carton while watching break-up movies in the dark (but these will be football movies instead of the usual break-up movies). Sigh... And then I'll have to eventually find a new football team to be a fan of. Eagles? Niners? It's too soon to think about.
I'm going to try not to dwell on that, because there are obviously MUCH more important things going on in our country right now. I won't turn this post into anything political, but let's just say I'm feeling incredibly stressed, angry, sad, and anxious for what's to come for our country. So, that's definitely way more important than my Chargers.
I hope everyone is doing great, and I hope everything is going well for everyone. In case you need some feel-good movies (I know I've been needing them!), one movie I would definitely recommend is La La Land. That's a hopeful, happy kind of movie, and I really enjoyed it (and I KNOW it's going to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, so that's already one off my list since I try to see those movies before the Oscars!). We also just watched Zootopia last night (it's free on Netflix!), and it was super cute. So, there's a few happy movies, just in case anyone else is needing them right now! I love you all!
