It Actually Doesn't Seem So Bad Out. So Far.
Class is not canceled. I think that I'll throw an extra blanket in the car, just in case.
Bah-ha-ha. Louisiana is expecting two inches of snow, so the governor declared a state of emergency.
My teacher DID cancel class. Unfortunately, I had taken a shower and gotten dressed, but I can lie down in my clothes. Class is canceled on Thursday too.
I think that I'll run errands before work so that I won't have to run errands in the Arctic cold tonight. Checked to make sure that I had cake pans because I want to make carrot cake tomorrow. Yum.
Napped. Put my makeup on. Ate Ramen. Ran errands.
The University of Illinois, which prides itself on never closing, canceled classes from tonight through tomorrow. However, they're telling their staff to come in tomorrow. That's cold. So to speak. Glad that I don't work there.
The library has been deserted tonight. Not surprised. The only cars that I saw when I left were Domino's Pizza Delivery cars. And a couple of guys buying booze were at the convenience store. I guess that's one way to deal with the cold :)
Someone on Facebook posted instructions on how to dress for very cold weather. I went looking for nylon mittens to put over my gloves, but sheesh. Expensive. I finally found petite women's long underwear at LLBean. It figures that they would have a decent selection. Also expensive though. The cold has been going straight through my work pants. Maybe I could build up my extreme winter wardrobe slowly. I could wear nylons under my pants as the poor person's long underwear. I have a jacket that I could wear under my coat.
I want to find an accountability partner for studying Spanish. Knowing that I will talk to my instructor helps some, but I don't study every day and should if I want to make good progress. I found Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivatedBuddies/, so I'll try there. There might be a Reddit group for language learning too. https://www.reddit.com/r/learnspanish/ https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/
