Winter and Its Discontents
Urgh. 3 F out. It feels cold in here, and the heat keeps coming on. Zara is warming my feet.
Wow. LeCroix has a cola flavor. But it's really expensive. I'll save getting it for a treat.
Had some problems falling asleep last night because I felt cold. But I had also forgotten to take my meds, and when I took them, I fell asleep.
0 F out this morning. Not looking good for going to the store. Although people in colder climates do that. It looks like my choices are to go today when it's really cold or go tomorrow when it's warmer but supposed to snow. Winter and its discontents. I really do want almond milk for my coffee though. Now they're saying possible snow today as well.
When I was younger, I wouldn't let the weather stop me from doing anything, but I also would wear nylons under my jeans and socks, a jacket under my down coat, mittens over my gloves, two scarves, etc. That sounds like too much trouble now.
Hmm. I am looking at a pair of ski mittens for brushing off the car, etc., but I'm not sure what size to get. I looked for long underwear, but none in my size. (Another reason to lose weight.) Actually, I did find a pair. Not sure if I'll get them though. I don't have any nylons that fit. I do have alpaca socks though. I wonder if I could wear leggings under jeans. Asked the Internet, and someone said to wear tights under jeans. I ordered tights from Amazon.
I'm dressed up as if I was going to work because I want to be warm. I'm wearing a corduroy jacket over a sweater and jeans. It works.
I'm fighting the strong urge to blow off Italian, but I shouldn't. I did attend the class. Go me. I like that the instructor is teaching us verbs. And has us talk a lot.
I decided that 19 F (tomorrow night) is better than 6 F (now), so I'll go to the store tomorrow. I can live without coffee tomorrow morning. I have one last wrap left too, so I'll eat a roast-beef sandwich open-faced on a slice of Keto bread. I previously ordered some Keto meal replacement shakes for times when I'm in a hurry or run out of food. It would be good to have them now.
Brought out the cheesecake ingredients to soften. Threw in a load of laundry. Got the garbage out. (Burrr.)
Pop Fit gives you a free pair of leggings for shipping and handling, so I ordered that too. I don't have the confidence to wear leggings in public, but could wear them around the house.
Jammed through a set of math homework...only to find that I did next week's homework. Bah. Well, I made next week easier.
Oh great. The cartridges in my printer are jammed, and I can't unjam them. It looks like I can scan though. I found a printer at Walmart that I like. It's an expense that I didn't need though. No, I unplugged my printer and replugged it in, and it fixed itself. Phew.
I'm feeling emotional and stressed. I shouldn't be. Well, possibly losing my printer is a Very Big Deal. I need it to do homework. I need it for work. I'm thinking no cheesecake again tonight because of all the time that I lost.
