Jonesing for the sun 1/10/12

• Got to see the full moon shining last night between heavy black clouds.  Luna Linda was so bright she turned the waves to mercury dancing on a mirror before they whitecapped.  My nose was frozen by the time I made myself stop watching.
• No sunrise, socked in with fog when I got up.  Couldn't even see the ocean except for the high-tide waves slapping the sand.  Couldn't see the blue monster Landmark Resort five blocks away.  And only 10 floors of the 20-story hotel up the street was visible.  Wonder what it would feel like to look out a 20th story window into that fog?  Could I see anything at all?
• By the time my hair and face was fixed, the fog had lifted enough to see dolphins splashing and playing in the waves.  Still no sun, just gray-white sky.
• Worked at the library for a change of scenery.  Also did some research for my resolutions.  Decided this year I'm not making resolutions to change anything, just resolved to have some fun adventures.  Learning to shag was one.  Did that already.  Next I'm going to Beaufort, SC, to see where "The Big Chill" was filmed.  Love that movie.  Then going to Savannah, GA, the setting for "Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil."  Love that book, read it every year.  So I printed off maps, got a schedule of tours for Mercer House (where the murder in Midnight occurred), even picked a weekend in February for my trip when Lady Chablis has a show.  She is fabulous!  I am jazzed to hit the road.
• Walked 10 blocks down Ocean Blvd and picked up my Lottery tix on the way.  I have got to hit the Powerball SOON because I will not be buying when the price goes up to $2.  Walked back up the beach in the dreary cool.  Not a smidge of sunshine all day.  Can't believe just two days ago I was barefoot beachwalking.  Come back, Sunbella.  I miss you, Darlin'!
