I’ve been griping all day why I couldn’t get warm despite being bundled up and having a space heater in my office, and the thermostat on the furnace reading 73. (This is an old house. And remember, I’m in FLORIDA.)
Ah, solves that mystery. I picked up the temp gun to check Sheldon’s digs (I swapped out his normal bulb for a 100w one to give him more warmth during this damn cold snap). I thought oh, let’s see what it is under my desk…
Crap.
My desk is right in front of a window, and the house is wood-frame and has no insulation under the floor.
Um…yeah.
We’re supposed to get record cold tonight, down, hard freeze warnings, down into the 20’s. I’d JUST started feeling a little better, and then BAM, this cold front.
This is FLORIDA. We are NOT used to these kinds of temps. UGH.
BRRR!
I think me and Gidget will either be working from the couch, or from bed, for the rest of the night.
Heh now add a negative and thats what we’re feeling up here in Michigan. Wind chills in the -20’s. I’ll gladly come for a visit and warm up!
@Heather – Yeah, I couldn’t survive in those kinds of temps! LOL
@Tymber Unfortunately I was born and raised here (except for two years when I lived in Miami) but there’s times when I hate it
I’ve been lounging around all day in my cashmere yoga pants that are only practical for about 5 days of the year here in the TBA, moaning to the cats about how high the electric bill is going to be this month. Then I though about what a b*tch I am to be complaining when so much of the country is literally snowed in. Of course, about that time I realized our great weather, beaches & sunsets are just compensation for the fact that we live in a state when random craziness makes us the butt of national jokes on a more or less routine basis.
OTOH, Siren Publishing just sent me an email link to a new Tymber Dalton Suncoast Society treat. Score!
@Julaine – Yeah, I take consolation that a lot of our nuts are imported from elsewhere. LOL
It’s not cold here. I’m in Arizona. I have been reading much more. Does Sami and Matt from Red Tide have a book? I thought I had read all of the Suncoast series but I don’t remember that one.

@Marie – Yes, their book is Out of the Darkness, a prequel to the Coffeeshop Coven series.
