I just felt the first truly heavenly breeze of the season. Ahhhhh. ---

I drove to work this morning (68 degrees F) with the window down. Man, I’ve been waiting for this. Of course, we’re moving tomorrow to a house with a swimming pool. Yep, we decided to get a house with a swimming pool in October. Oh, well, there should be about another month of swimming weather if I tough it out. ---

Hands cold. Hate this. Already. ---

I actually felt cold today when I walked outside! It was 68 degrees! I love it so much. So much. Please, please mommy, can we keep it? ---

Yep, we decided to get a house with a swimming pool in October. Oh, well, there should be about another month of swimming weather if I tough it out. I’m near Orlando, and it’s supposed to be back in the 90s next week, so I think you’ll have several more weeks of swimming. ---

It is freakin’ gorgeous outside! We should get “beautiful days” like they get snow days up north. 😃 ---

I had to drive from Jacksonville down the road to St. Augustine today. It was great! I took 1A instead of I-95 and had the windows down and, for the first time in months, the AC off. ---

I hate it. If I wanted to be cold, I would have stayed in South Dakota. ---

This morning was cool, but humid. Now, it’s warmer but dry. I prefer the latter to the former. ---

The change in the weather threw a monkey wrench into my sinuses. I got up yesterday with a splitting headache and didn’t get to feeling better until after I puked…on the up side, I stayed home from work, got some reading done, and I prefer a minor headache-and-puke episode to the constant misery **Wile E** describes. ---

> [@filling\_pages](#): > > Up here in North Florida, it’s supposed to get down to the low 50s at some point this week. We’re all excited and having conversations like: “I’m gonna wear my peacoat!” “Well, I’m gonna wear my boots!” “I can’t wait to put a quilt on the bed!” This is what I miss about my years in Tallahassee. The weather got cool enough that I could wear some spiffy winter clothes, drink hot chocolate/coffee/hot cider and not get overheated, and my skin would completely clear up and “glow”. I also miss the February/March backyard parties with bonfires, a keg, and trying to hold back use of “I hate fuzzy bunnies” until the smoke from the bonfire was unbearable. Orlando winter is just not the same. ☹ ---

I can handle a little pain, it’s the “can’t move, can’t breathe, soaked in sweat, can’t do anything, I think I have heatstroke” feeling that I don’t want. I have Reynaud’s Syndrome (capillaries constrict in my fingertips, cutting off circulation), so whenever temps are below 70º or whenever I hold an icy cold glass, my fingertips go numb and turn many fantastic colors. The blue is my favorite. Then they hurt like hell when I warm them back up and the blood starts flowing again. ---

I live in downtown Tally, and we’ve got a space where we have bonfires all through the winter. I love when it’s cold enough to just set a twelvepack of beer outside the circle of fire warmth and not worry about icing it. ---

Howdy, neighbor! I’m across Monroe and up toward the capital from you. (Capitol? Which one is right for the building? I never remember.) Too bad it clouded up again today, eh? ---

A powerful front came through S. Texas early this morning in the form of a bed-shaking line of thunderstorms. No issues with that though as I love the rain, especially sleeping to it. It took us from warm and muggy days to a cooler, drier, snappier, blue sky day with the gentlest of breezes. This is awesome.
