thirty-eight degrees

i think it's actually colder. how accurate is weather.com anyway? it's fur-eezing and i keep having to delete and re-type thanks to my frozen digits. rally just protested because i moved; she's all cuddled up warm beside me. she's in for a real rude surprise when i shut off the computer in a minute and head upstairs. but right now, the laptop is serving as a source of heat so i'm loathe to give it up.

i know, i know, you're thinking, suck it up, it's only going to get colder. and to that i say, suck it up, my complaining's only going to get worse.

i got a pair of 'winter boots' this weekend. water proof, wind proof, insulated, magical, etc. they're not pretty but i won't have frostbite. i also found a jacket, i mean, coat, i liked but i'm going to look on-line and see if i can find it for less than rei's retail price.

and i know it's cold and not just my southern california imagination because i ran an errand today and there were wisconsin people wearing jackets. if they were cold, i can be cold. the difference, of course, is that they have 'fall jackets' and i have sweatshirts. i also have gloves, scarves, hats, and earmuffs. i think i might wear them all to bed tonight.
