New Year, Same Stuff

New Year's Edition

Another day has come and gone and honestly, another "holiday" I don't really care about.  It is a bit sad this year as I don't have a dog to keep calm for the first time in about 15+ years which has kind of gotten me sour towards fireworks in general.  I hope all the other animals out there were OK though.  But this past week with New Year's Eve being on a Tuesday, it has felt like there was 4 Friday's last week with no Saturday after.  Almost like my own personal Groundhog Day loop and I keep waking up to Friday again.  But, let's see how this upcoming week plays out.  January always seems like a super slow month as well so every day is like watching each minute pass by.  Also, it's been a very dry Winter so far for us which is also unusual.  Haven't had a drop of rain in months, we did have some slight misty once or twice but no solid rain yet... I hope that changes soon!

Weekly Update:

Speaking of the rain, where is it??  It has been so dry here for weeks and the forecast also shows no rain in sight.  Last year we had a lot of rain (but it wasn't enough) and now no rain and it worsens our water supply problem and drought situation.  Every riverbed that I see is bone dry and what is usually man made small lakes to hold water are completely empty.  We need some downfall water and we need it soon!  I can see a layer of dust and dirt forming on top of everything and I can't remember when we had some decent rain last.  We are due and can only hope it is soon and lots!

At the movies:

Small climb up the charts at #1 is Mufasa: The Lion King with 23.8 million for another holiday weekend.  Still a bit away to 200 mil so still a struggle for it to reach that.  Drop down to #2 is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with 21.2 mil and pretty close to 200 mil, has steam to reach it but will take a bit more time.  Holding at #3 is Nosferatu with 13.2 mil and will still struggle to reach 100 mil.  Back up to #4 is Moana 2 with 12.4 mil as it quickly slows down.  Rounding off the top 5 is Wicked with 10.2 mil as it starts to wrap up itself.
