What the freeze!!!??  So this past week it was FREEZING and not just at night but during the day!  This felt like our true winter weather but ... in late February.  It was nice in that I could wear my jackets because I do have a lot of them but no reason to wear them!  Till now, both days and nights were extremely cold.  Had to run the heater on pretty much nightly and kept the windows all closed most of the time during the day.  But because I work upstairs, and heat rises, on occasion had to crack open a window to get some kind of coolness as it got hot fast.  But wow, during the day it got to be around 50 degrees ... that is so cold for Southern California and at night in the 40's so not that much colder.  If we had rain, that would be interesting as I wonder if anything would ice up or maybe a little hail?  I just don't remember it ever being this cold in February before and hope the trend continues ... as I always say its easier to warm up than to cool down!

Weekly Update:
I find myself taking very short naps during lunch ... usually two to three 10 minute naps.  Why 10 minutes and not 20 or 30?  Well, I would rather rest for 10, get woken up and take another 10.  I'm afraid if I take a longer one then it might put me in a deeper sleep at that point and I have slept through an alarm before only to realize it any where from a minute to much later it has been going on.  I know it is probably not enough sleep time because you may burn 1 to 2 minutes falling asleep but it feels enough if I get two of them in.  Once I did sleep past that 10 minute time frame so if it had been any longer, could have been dangerous.  I think 10 minutes for me is that sweet spot for a quick nap.

At the movies:
Wakanda Forever is true for at least another week as "Black Panther" earns top honors with an additional 108.1 million!  Now at 400 mil domestic cume, on track to be over 600 at this pace.  Reviews continue to be strong and word-of-mouth leads the way.  New at #2 is Game Night with 16.6 mil to open, right as expected as well.  A fair number but given what it was up against, it didn't get to collect $200 or scream Yahtzee!  Holding ground at #3 is "Peter Rabbit" with 12.6 mil more as it limps its way trying to reach 100 mil cume, may not make it. New at #4 is Annihilation with 11 mil and just a tad below expectations.  Rounding off the top 5 is "Fifty Shades Freed" with another 6.9 mil and will fall short of 100 mil cume.

New movies that did not make the top 5:
Just one this week as "Every Day" earning only 3.1 mil and no surprises with that number.
