I find it difficult to just sit and relax; I always think of something else I could be doing instead. Congrats for pulling it off!
We, too, have had a very wimpy winter. I don't get all worked up about "global warming" or "climate change". If we don't have occasional extremes in temperature and precipitation, why would anyone bother to discuss "average" or "normal"? It's just weather, even if the forecasters do like to throw impressive labels onto it.
