FINALLY!  I'm seeing buds on trees and people in shorts.  That's going too far. But I didn't wear a hat today, though I brought it just in case...Did wear the scarf though.  I took a chance and left home without my usual extra padding (52 degrees is still a bit chilly in my book) and a brisk walk to work gave me some warmth. It wasn't bad at all. 

It's supposedly in the 60s now, I'm looking forward to a walk downtown.  Real joy will come beyond the 70 degree mark but I can definitely live with this.

Kids are tough!  I'm babysitting my little niece and she is BOSS-E!  She'd be a dictator in her own little world.  I suppose many kids are like that though.

But just when you think you've won a battle, you realize you've been brought down anyway... I woke up this morning with a horrible sore throat.

The little lady was sick to begin with, I knew that, but I thought I was invincible.  That'll teach me!!
