It's only 59 degrees down here today.  The normal temperature for this time of year is around 75-77.  I'm so cold.

It was -11 C (12 F) here last night and snowing!  

FudgeChi, I'm not far from you.  I'm an Aussie but live in Germany!  So we're practically neighbours!  
 

LOL!!!!!! That is a heat wave to us!!!!!!

My little corner of Florida is one of the few places in the US with a climate that's classified as Tropical Rainforest.  And with the houses being built on cement slabs, when it gets below 70, you can feel the cold come up from the ground through the slab.  And it's supposed to drop to 43 tonight.

And Wendy is right, the cold Arctic air lowers the humidity which Floridians are accustomed to.  So we feel even colder.  I need to go shopping this weekend and pick up stuff to make soup.

I've been down with a bad cold the last few days, darn that 2 yr. old, he brings home every bug from daycare.   His mom just got hired at his daycare as a kitchen aide, I'm hoping she has to do piles and piles of dishes.  I hope that's her entire freakin' job, dish after dish after dish.  She acts like doing the dishes will scar her permanently or something.  As you can maybe guess, she's got the sink full of them right now.  I  found a dishpan so I can do mine next to the sink, cause I can't get into the sink to use it.  And they always throw food in the sink and we don't have a garbage disposal.  We do, however, have 3 dogs who would happily clean anything you put on the floor.  Nope, let's throw the plateful of food in the sink instead.  I finally told her to just leave the dishes on the table and I would give the leftovers to the dogs and wash the dishes but no, she insists on filling up the sink with her nasty dishes.  And I don't even want to get into the nasty, smelly sponge that never, ever gets washed or microwaved to kill the germs.  And they'll move the strainer/stopper thing that's supposed to keep the food out of the drain so that they can wash food down there, I mean, how stupid can people be?  Sorry I vent about it all the time but I've only shared with a single guy before and I'd cook and clean up after so it was never an issue and there's nobody here I can bitch about it to.  And I just want to wring her neck over this child.  She complains constantly that he won't eat his meals but she gives him juice constantly.  I looked up how much juice a toddler should have and it's exactly as I've tried telling her.  He should only have 4-6 oz. a day.  That would be one sippy cup.  He should have one cup of milk at each meal and water in between.  I don't think this child has ever tasted water.  She's depriving him of nutrients because he's full of juice and won't eat.  And juice doesn't really go with many food tastes, anyway, who wants to eat while they're drinking juice, just doesn't go well together.
