I am about to head out the door ....The car is warming up out there. It's probably over 25 below zero out there today, I don't keep a thermometer up at the house here.This is what winter used to be like, at least75% of the time, this is just a small blip compared to the rest of the mild winter we have had.  I do look forward to a warm up. On this side of the equinox, there is more sun during the day, and it takes the bitter chill off for at least a part of the day.I'd prefer not to go anywhere,  but, I was out all last week with the flu(or whateever that was) and I need to make up for the forced time off. People at the cafe are feeling the winter I think.   I have had my only two negative encounters in the last two weeks. This from "regulars". And I don't react well at this time of year either.     I feel the need to cut hours and get to work on my sculptures again. I never wanted to be one of thos whiners wishing I could be working on my art, but having to work a job to get by. But thousands before me have had to do the same thing, and I am lucky to have the work I have. As much as the crabby customers annoy me, My violin kids inspire and entertain me!.There is always balance if you look for it! Later D
