A cold and cozy Sunday

This past week has been murder at work and I expect another this week. Every night I had some personal commitment, meeting or had to work on editing photos from a recent photo shoot. I planned on working today but my fellow associate at work assisting with this project talked me into staying home and we will deal with it all tomorrow. I’m glad I took her advice. Other than running two errands today which took all of 45 minutes and catching up on laundry, I have done nothing but relax and I needed it! It is “Florida” cold here today and I love it. The temperature is in the 50’s but with the 20 to 30 mile an hour winds, it feels much colder. Now if you are from the North, you are probably laughing at the fact that I think this is cold, but after you have lived in beautiful, sunny Florida for as many years as I have, your blood thins a bit. When it gets in the low 60’s I have to break out a jacket. When I first moved here, I used to make fun of people for doing the same thing I do now as the temperature dips. Today I read the paper in bed while drinking coffee, played around on the computer, read my current book for awhile, gave my old dog some much needed affection, took a long nap, built a fire in the fireplace which is seldom used, opened a nice bottle of Cabernet with a dinner that consisted of fruit, meat and cheese topped off with pieces of dark chocolate for dessert. I am now finishing a cup of Earl Grey tea while writing this in a flannel pajama pants, a thermal shirt and terry cloth bathrobe. Ahhhhh, the little things in life can sometimes be the most important and meaningful. “The Replacements” is on TV in the background and it is one of my favorite comedic football movies. I am so stress free right now it is unbelievable. I could get used to this!! But, unfortunately, tomorrow I have to go back and face the music to pay the bills. Until then, it has been a much needed and most relaxing day.

I look forward to another one like it soon. Have a great week everyone!
