Snow birds

I hear there's another blizzard expected tonight... Jemma and I won't, however, be enjoying another snow day... Instead, we'll be increasing our vitamin D levels, and trying to get rid of the last remnants of this nasty virus we've both been fighting for so long.

We came down to Florida last night. And, no, we weren't 'fleeing the bad weather' (we like the snow, remember?) But it's winter break at Jemma's school, and we were beginning to get cabin fever. Our apartment is rather... well, 'spacious' isn't the first word that comes to mind. I mean, by NYC standards, it's pretty comfortable - but we've spent a lot of 'sick time' inside lately. And there's only so much playing outside you can do in this weather before your nose freezes off. Also, Scott's away on business this week, so Jem and I decided to hop on a plane to Palm Beach.

'Hopping on a plane' with a three year old invloves a lot of lugging, sweating, and stress in general - especially when you accicentally leave your tickets in the ladies' room, and don't realize until you're at the gate... But I'm delighted to be here. Even though everyone's complaining about a 'cold spell' (it's about 65 degrees out) there's nothing that can compare to the softness of the air down here; and to be able to feel the sun on your skin in the middle of winter is heavenly.
