I am so looking forward to flying to California in two days to get warmer.
California will definitely be warmer than Boston, these days.
Here’s an unexpected way I’ve been getting warmer. I’m running another fever.
Sometimes when I’m upset and having catastrophizing thoughts, like “I won’t be able to fly to California on Saturday!” I feel warmer, too.
I’m trying to stay cool about all this, by letting my doctors know, staying home from work today, and letting go of worst-case thinking.
I’ve also been feeling uncool this morning, because none of the photos I took yesterday on my iPhone are loading to my laptop. I thought I’d be getting warmer to fixing that problem by using a new cable, but the photos still won’t load.
That’s okay. I’m staying cool about that, too, by including these never-before-blogged photos, demonstrating how Boston is a long way from getting warmer:
What song would help with getting warmer today?
(This cool scene from West Side Story found here on YouTube.)
Thanks to all who keep their cool when things get warm and to you — of course! — for the warmth of your visit here today.
Cool photos. Cool song. Cool you’re leaving in 2 days.
Not so cool you’re not feeling warm and right.
Not so cool you’re photos won’t load.
Glad you’re cool with it all and staying home!
Thanks, Cool Louise!
I love West Side Story… Don’t know if it’ll warm me up, though!
“West Side Story” and amazing dancing like that always warm me up, Trent!
I guess if I was moving like those dancers (or an awful attempt to move that way) I’d be pretty warm to!
West Side Story is very cool Ann.
I hope you feel better soon so you can travel with ease to warmth and sunshine 🙂
Thank you for this tres cool comment, Val.
Tu es trop gentile et cool mon ami 🙂
As in the lyrics: “Stay cool boy, real cool.” In your case; “Stay cool girl, real cool.”
Put some quiet time aside today and tomorrow, and see youself in sunny California.

Thank you for the warmth of this reply, Alan, and the very cool quote.
I love California Ann! I’m so happy you get to go? Are you going to Southern California? LA? Venice Beach is one of my favourite places. If you go there, take lots of photos! Have fun lady! <3

I am going to LA with my son, Diana, and we’ll be driving up the coast to SF. I’ve been to Venice Beach and we’ll see if we can go to that very cool place.
You are sometimes just too cool for your own good ~ so good for you and your California plans. A little warmth in February may just be what the soul needs…I sure could use some, but figure such sunshine will just have to come from your post 🙂 Cheers and safe travels when the time comes.
Thanks, Randall. You are the coolest.

Sorry to hear that your fever’s the only thing warming you up. It seems odd telling you to keep cool, considering the temperature outside. I’m sure everything will be wonderful once Saturday arrives – not long now! Have a lovely, warm holiday in the glorious Californian sunshine. 🙂
Thank you for this cool and warm comment, Millie!
Ann, I also made that drive on US 101 when I was a teenager, my father was a visiting professor at UC/SLO. The coastline is beautiful, you’ll be able to get great pictures; but you already are, a great photographer!
The lyrics of this song are so funny, yet it’s one of those oldies, hope you like it:

I remember this song, Maria. Thanks for the cool video, story, and compliment, too!
I’m very sorry and worried to hear that you’re running a temperature, Ann. I am sending cooling thoughts you way (but only gently cooling, not blizzard-enhancing cooling).
Do not worry, Maureen. All will be cool, I believe.
No fevers, please, Ann, you’re too cool, Top Cat.

Mark, you are the COOLEST. I loved “Top Cat” when I was a kid and even wrote my own script for an episode! Not as good as this one, obviously. Or maybe better. I can’t tell, Mark! I’m running a fever!
You wrote your own script, Ann, because you’re the most tip top, Top Cat, leader of the gang. Better than Officer Dibble, even.
West Side Story is very cool. But Tony is hot. I hope your temp is no longer hot – it is not cool timing!! Sending warm thoughts to cool your hot temp
It’s confusing to run hot and cold like I do! But your comment helped cool me down and warm me up, in all the best ways.
Hope you are doing better!
Thank you, Kate. Did that just happen, that I started running a fever right before my two-week vacation to California?!?!?!
Lol, nice! Giving you big props on working that one in!
I think it is cool to fly to Ca. to get warmer 🙂 I hope you cool your body down before the traveling day 🙂
I think this comment is very cool!

Sure hope you are feeling better. Is there a possibility your medical doctor would prescribe an antibiotic as a prophylactic measure? I understand it may not be bacterial or fungal, and that no antibiotic is good for viral infections, but immune compromised conditions can lead to secondary infections that do respond to added measures. (I underwent that treatment for pneumonia and was given an additional antibody during my second course of treatment.)
Thinking only good thoughts for you. Wishing you wellness and a wonderful vacation.
Thanks for the loving spoonful of this kind and helpful comment!
This is for you and the warmth you bring here:

I’m looking for a crowbar, Alex. Getting warmer …

Wonderful treat for us with the West Side Story Cool. I wish we could send you the right kind of ice to make you well enough to travel.
This comment seems to be doing a good job, Hilary. I think I’ll be ready to travel tomorrow (unless more ice and snow on the way cancels our flight!).

Warm or cool…you are the one and only you, and that is more than enough for me.
And this comment is just right.
