It's Over

The longest cold weather streak South Florida has had since 1940 (officially from the National Weather Service) is nothing but a distant memory. For the last 2 nights we have had to use the AC which makes me a little unhappy. I loved being able to use my heater, something I haven't done in years really. There's just something so warm and cozy about the heater. I love the heater smell, too. I really LOVE the cold air, even though it freezes me and I wear about 1,000 pieces of clothing. There's just nothing like it. On the coldest day we had, I think the high was around the mid to upper 40's which is completely unheard of here as a high temperture.

My body even subconsciously must love the cold. I must have tried to donate blood at Gracie's school's numerous blood drives, in the past, I don't know how many times and I have not been able to because my iron numbers were never quite good enough. This must have gone on for at least 2 years and every single time I am rejected. I went this past Wednesday to try yet again, completely convinced I would be turned away a few minutes later. To my surprise, my numbers were no where near being rejected this time. See, I need more cold weather in my life.

But really, I felt so blessed to have so much cooler weather. Usually one day here and one day there, but 12 straight in a row? Pure heaven on earth. Well, at least it was for me.
