Crazy weather in this country. Yesterday, it was pushing 80F. This morning, it's below freezing and there's snow on the ground. How do you all cope?

Okay, yesterday was a good day to leave Florida. The weather had turned unpleasantly humid, it was cloudy, and the wind had picked up uncomfortably. By contrast, Michigan is cold but sunny and clear. Maybe not beach weather, but....

We've got just under a week left before we head back to the UK (counting down the days until we get to be back with Maya again), and we're going to take it pretty easy. Steph had to do all the driving in Florida, which was pretty bad for her CFS, so it's recovery time now (punctuated by occasional socialising, of course). I'm feeling pretty knackered too after a couple of bad nights' sleep.

My main aim before we go back (and I'm not convinced I'm going to achieve it, because vacations are good for that sort of thing) is to make my current novel change direction. It's lingering too long in one place, and I need it to kick on forward to the adventure part. Might have to get out the cutting knife to do it.

That's all for now. Back to what you were doing.
