Today is
the last day of January. A whole month
has already passed this year--and it went by fast.
Its speed
was magnified somewhat by the number of deadlines I had for February 1. Fortunately, I met them. Now, I'm spending my time plotting my next
mystery, plus a couple of other ideas I have.

blue moon because it'll be the second full moon of January. It'll appear larger than usual since it will
be closer to Earth, which makes it a super moon, with a reddish tone, which
makes it a blood moon. Plus, there's
supposed to be a complete lunar eclipse.

My update: I got up several times in the early morning hours. First, I saw the large Super Moon, which was, of course, a Blue Moon. Later, I saw the amazing, still-large Blood Moon. But I missed any indication of an eclipse. I may be a bit tired today, but it was worth it!
Linda, I missed the eclipse too, but I did see the full moon. It was beautiful. Congrats on making your deadlines.
Thanks, Betty. I'll be eager to see the next full moon but there won't be an equivalent of what was there the other night for a long, long time.
