Today in South Florida, it is turning into a gorgeous day, one of those days when you say to yourself, “This is why I live in Florida!” However, our weather people are telling us to expect another major cold snap tomorrow with the possibility of snow in some parts of the state, perhaps as close as Central Florida (like Orlando which is about 2 hours north of me).

I have been digging through my clothes trying to find warm items to wear. I have one, count ’em, one pair of sweat pants, and I was delighted to discover a sweat shirt I had totally forgotten about buried deep down in a t-shirt drawer of mine, eureka!

It has been difficult to feel warm around here particularly because my husband gets hot very easily and hates to have the heat on. Sometimes I tell him too bad so sad and put it on any way, at least to get the chill out, but like my cats, I like it warm and toasty. I have also been trying to make sure they stay warm as well since they don’t sleep with us as night and get “tucked in” to their own room in the evenings.

For example, I brought an old comforter (partially dog eaten at some point in its career) and arranged it so there were some cuddle spots in it. Here is Skimpy enjoying a little warm nesting. He almost looks like a little bunny in there.

Both Silty and Skimpy have been spending extra time sunning themselves in their window too as they enjoy some old crochet blankets I’ve set up for them.

And, of course, I have already permanently set up a spot on either side of my computer for them, which includes a box with more crochet comfies in them and a desk lamp over the top. As my office assistants, they need to be right there while I’m writing or grading papers just in case I need some help.

Silty often prefers the QVC box for some reason.

Skimpy uses them both, but more often he likes to stretch out a little in the shoe box that my husband got his last pair of construction boots from.

I can’t imagine we will get any snow flurries this far south, but it has snowed as far south as Miami from what I’ve heard, so you never know!
