It’s just too damned hot outside here in Florida. It’s been really hot for weeks now. We’re having near or above record temps all month long. I knew when we had an especially long and cold winter things would be miserable come summer – I just didn’t know “summer” would arrive in April. Here’s today’s…

Last day this view!
Moving day at work. Changing buildings so last day with this view.Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Dreary Tuesday
Another dreary day out today. Lots of thunderstorms and rain. It's lightened up now so it's just very overcast and drizzling but it was absolutely pouring this morning. Still not as bad as last week's storms but still, quite a heavy downpour. The roads were all flooded again when I came in. There's still a…
Hot!
I go for a walk everyday at work on my break. It’s about a half-mile route and it’s just because I need to get up, stretch my legs, get some fresh air and do something other than sit in my chair staring at my monitor for a few minutes. I always peak at the weather…
Nothing But Clear Skies
What a different a day can make! Yesterday it was tornadoes, overturned planes, knocked over semi trucks, downed trees, heavy winds and rain with flooding…and today there’s literally not a cloud in the sky. Today it’s endless blue out there: (Compare that to yesterday when you couldn’t even see out the window!) Also note, the…
Downpour!
It looks – and sounds worse in person as well! Text msg from M Posted via email from memoryanddream’s posterous
Nasty Weather
It’s a miserable day outside today. I made it into work in a lull in the storm but the whole area is under Tornado watches, high wind advisories and severe weather alerts. Here’s what the radar looks like to give you an idea: All flights at Tampa International Airport are on hold right now because…
Roof Collapse
I spoke to a gentleman today – who was near 80 by the way – who had his roof collapse as a result of snow. The roof was being held up by 2×4's and he was waiting to see if the trailer was going to be condemned or not by the insurance company. In the…

Brr!
I know I’m not going to get much sympathy here considering there is snow in 49 out of 50 states and I’m living in the sole holdout (Florida) but, it’s cold out there! Keeping in mind that it IS Florida, the fact it’s the middle of the day and currently 49F/9C outside actual temperature (with…
So This is 2011
So far, not much different from 2010 I gotta say. We spent New Year’s Eve at a walk-in clinic since everything was closed and poor Love had a completely red and swollen eye. Turns out, he has an eyelid infection. I’ve been washing his eyelid with baby shampoo multiple times a day and applying an…
Gracie X-Rays
Well, I got back ten minutes or so from dropping the Little Cat off at the vet. She’s getting her x-rays today. I should be able to pick her back up this afternoon. They said that depending on what the x-rays show, they might not need to do the sonogram as well. So we’ll see….
Brr!!
Keep in mind, I live in Florida. And a week ago – last Monday – it was tying record highs at 85F (29C) during the day. Now? Brr!! Currently, it’s 46F (8C) outside! Again I say, BRR!! Can I call in “warm in my bed” to work today?
Ups and Downs
Briefly, since I’m supposed to be getting ready, a few good and a few bad things going on. Good Stuff We finally were able to get Love’s car fixed yesterday. The belt tensioner assembly needed replacing (badly) and as a result, the car squeaked like mad every time you were in idling. Now, it’s blissfully…
Tired
Thursday was day nine since the first day of my sore throat. Nine long days of being sick. I’m doing a lot better and I have about 90% of my voice back but I’m still very snotty, still have some intermittent coughing and am overall very exhausted. This morning was a non-stop nose blowing festival…
