winter woes

I spent most of today pretending like it was winter.  As I'm sure you have figured out, I am longing for something, anything, that reminds me that it's nearly Christmas.  Today was spitting a cold rain, accompanied by an equally chilling wind.  The family I nanny for even switched back over to the heat.  I wrapped myself in a cardigan and warm socks, and stayed indoors all day, imagining that snow was right around the corner.  I fooled myself pretty well for most of the day, and fell into a luxurious slumber at day's end; cold weather is the BEST for sleeping.
