8. Sometimes I miss upstate NY, but not in the winter.

It's just too harsh and too difficult to get around this time of year. It's absolutely beautiful, but only if you don't have to leave the house to go anywhere. I hope things will improve for you weather-wise soon. I know how it can wear on you during the late winter months. Mid-February is when I would usually start losing it and when I would do just about anything to get out of there. Do you have a vacation planned soon?

I am thinking of something in April, but it really hasn't been that bad here, so I don't have cabin fever just yet. It's kind of cozy and chilly, but not so brutal as to be limiting one's activity. Stay warm and safe Rhiannon!
