This morning I awoke to a white landscape and the lovely little pond across the street is white which tells me the pond is frozen over under the snow. As I write this, it's three o'clock in the afternoon and although the snow is mostly gone off the grass, the pond is still white.
In the evening I watch TV with my new electric fireplace next to me (Oh joy, oh joy, I love it!) and a gas space heater in the other room taking the chill off the house, and a blanket over my lap. I've not gone out of the house in three days, not even to walk across the street and get the mail. The temperature has gotten up to freezing by now, but it's windy which means I'm still not venturing out. This is not what I signed up for when we left San Diego. I left New England and moved to San Diego because I hated being cold. Now here I am, freezing my fingers off as I type.My Christmas decorations are still up because I refuse to go outside to the shed to get the storage boxes. So Deck the Halls and O Tannenbaum and all that, because it's still Christmas here and will remain so until the weather straightens itself out and remembers this is the South.
I know a lot of you are faring worse than I am, but since it's my platform, I'll complain thank you.However, on a happy note, my book Saving Lou is in production right now as an audio book. I'm very pleased with the narrator and his rendition of my story. I'll let you know when it's available through Amazon.
Stay warm everyone for just like our New Year's resolutions, this weather won't last forever.
By the way, Happy New Year!
