Cooling Off


The last few days have been very cool here in Tampa. While I'm enjoying the cooler temperatures, I'm already bracing myself for when it gets really cold (at least by Floridians standards). I'm not a big fan of cold weather. Neither am I a fan of hot weather. I like the temperature in high 60's to mid 70's. Greg says I like everything to be perfect and it can't be that way! I know that things and people are NOT perfect but I still like to try to get to as close to perfect as I can. That's just me...

I'm feeling a bit under the weather and I'm not happy about that because a few weeks ago I was sick with a very bad cold. Anyways, I felt it coming on last night (probably because of the change in temperature) so I took Airborne. It really does work wonders as they say. I've taken it a few times already (you are suppose to take it every 3-4 hours) and I'm already feeling much better than I did last night. I hope to kick this thing soon because I do not want to get another full-blown cold.

Besides all of that, today was a good day. I got my hair done today and I was really happy with how it came out. I tried this new hairdresser and I was very impressed with her work. I will definitely go back there. My hair and I are recovering from a very traumatic hair experience and it's been a very long journey trying to find a hairdresser that is competent (by my standards). So I was very pleased today to leave the hairdresser with a smile on my face. That has been very rare as I am going through a bad hair season. I know...I know...Most people thing my short hair-do is so cute. And there are days when I think it's cute myself. But after having long hair for 28 years, it was very hard to lose my hair in the way I did. I've grown to like my short hair but it's not really my preference and I do miss my long hair. Anyways, I've already come to terms with it so I don't want to re-hash the negative feelings. It was just very refreshing to actually "like" my hair today after seeing how the hairdresser had styled it.

Not much else happened after that. I came home and got some laundry done. I took the kids outside for some outdoor fun. They really enjoy outside in the cool weather too. For dinner I made salmon marinated in olive oil and herbs served with baked sweet potato (for me) and regular baked potato for Greg. Mmmm...yum! All in all, that was my day and it was a good day. I'm off now to get the kids ready for bed; after that I'd like to take my shower, get some reading done and snuggle with Greg before I drift off to sleep...then my day would be perfect...or as close to perfect as you can get!
