There's at least an inch of snow on the ground. That's very little compared to the snows in California and areas north of here. But it's still hard to accept. It feels remarkable. The temperature is a little above freezing, and there's no need to go outdoors. The Moho, (motorhome), is comfortable, though I keep the thermostat set fairly low. 60-65 degrees. I'm sure that the 38 years of Florida sun has climatized me to the warmer weather, and I am adjusting slowly. I am working on acceptance, and in time, I will change. There's nothing I can do to change the weather.
I'm taking a working Florida vacation next week. I'll fly home on the 7th and start working to consolidate my storage units. I'll get rid of some more stuff, and drive my Toyota back to New Mexico. Just getting the car out of storage will give me plenty of space for the things in the other storage unit. I'll bring the cold-weather clothing I left at home, like leathers and the windshield for the Moto-Guzzi. And maybe a down jacket. I'm not sure if I'll be able to sell the BMW, but it's okay if it stays in storage another year. I do have some artwork I bought from a friend that I'd like to either donate or give to someone. They are oil paintings of some value, but I don't know how to market them properly. I plan to stay with a friend for the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th, and then drive back to New Mexico on the 11th, 12th, and 13th. Windy will be boarded at an animal clinic nearby, and the Moho will be getting some service locally. She needs help with the exhaust manifold gasket, and the braking system. The trip seems like a win-win for me. It's just that being in Tampa will likely feel odd. At least the weather will be more agreeable. I'm hoping for a minimal amount of rain.
It's a gray day. I accept things the way they are. I can't change anything except my actions and my attitude. I've put myself here, and it's up to me to accept that. No one else is responsible, I'm here because of my choices. I'm going to change, with help, and likely, things won't be as gray forever.
