Oh, screw THAT....

I woke up.

I went to the computer to check today's weather.

I saw a number with a frickin' minus sign in front of it.

Why exactly have I not returned to bed?

I'd forgotten what sub-zero temperatures felt like.

Jesus am I glad I left Alaska.

This sucks.

Oy. Considering that this is a warmer clime than you're used to? Aiee. I can't even imagine.

Could it be because you're a masochist with some sort of freaky cold fetish?

[slipjig.livejournal.com]

Hey, now. At least I'm wearing clothes this time. Um.

[fibro-witch.livejournal.com]

Ah but the look on your face was so priceless that time.

It isn't just the cold, it's the evil yellow face that does it.
"Who turned on the spotlight? Aaaaaggggh!"
The old beds with drapes were made in the right spirit. Piling blankets on ones head can get really stuffy,

Aiee! Light! It burns!

*snerk* And a small one at that.

We went to Kohl's and spontaneously bought flannel sheets.

Ohhh, I adore flannel sheets! I'm purring just thinking about it....

[spoothbrush.livejournal.com]

Oh they're wonderful. My bed is now that much closer to being heaven on earth. Already worth the $25.

I came home tonight, felt the drafts gusting across my feet, and attacked the windows and doors with masking tape immediately. Didn't even say hi to the cats first. The house felt warmer instantly--it's amazing what a few quarter-inch cracks can do, and conversely, what a few feet of thin tape can do.

Now I'm in bed, and apart from the basic requirements of life, here I plan to stay. Even taped up, the apartment is cold. What possessed anyone to settle permanently in New England? What godforsaken frozen wasteland did they come from that New England winters looked like an improvement? What are we all doing here, dammit?

If I knew that, I'd probably be elsewhere. Or not: I'd rather have a cold winter and throw some extra blankets on the bed to snuggle under with a good book than have an insufferable summer with absolutely no options for getting comfortable. (Okay, I stand corrected: I apparently DO know the answer.)

This probably explains why there were so many New England colonists with, like, seventeen children.
