 We are gearing up for our last camping trip of the season.  While I am sad the nice weather is drifting away, I am glad I won’t be subjected to the cold for several weekends on and. 

I am not built to survive cold weather. I am a chihuahua, always chilly. I bought myself heated pants a few years back and will be using them on our trip. I charged the battery so they are ready.

I would like to spend time away in the winters when I am older, but not Florida. Geesh! Florida is getting spanked. I never want to know or understand the fear of losing my family, my pets, my friends or a house to a  hurricane. I would have totally bailed out of Florida.

Avery called today. She is such a cool kid. She was struggling with a decision to purchase an electric teapot. She wanted one, she works and has a cash flow. She has money in the bank, but still was struggling with the decision to purchase one. She felt she would use it daily, but she felt she was being frivolous with her money.

This kid rarely buys things for herself. My advice to her was “buy the damn teapot!”. We then got into a discussion about the psychology behind her feelings. She is so worried to become wasteful with her money. I told her she was going to financially survive purchasing an electric teapot.

She also mentioned that her fall break is coming up. She and her friends are staying on campus. She is going to bring Jiminy to the suite at school and spend a day or two with 6 adults showering him with love. He will love it so much. So many people to swaddle him and hold him while he sleeps. Jiminy heaven!

I am going to make a nice little cocoon for myself in my bed and snuggle in. I am appreciating that I will not have to worry about weather while I sleep/  stay safe Florida!
