People always say "how do you deal with the cold? is it hard? do you have a good coat?" The cold ain't shit. Its the side effects of the cold that they don't warn you about. For instance:
If you have a meeting at 10:50 for which you have to walk 40 feet outside normally, NORMALLY you would get up and leave at 15 till. normally. if it's 5 degrees outside however, you have to calculate the minutes it takes you to re-apply all the layers so instead leaving at 1045 you get up at 1042 to put on fleece, coat, hat, gloves, scarf. You then walk the 40 feet to where the meeting will take place and enter a very warm room. Since you are only planning on staying in that room for a few minutes at the most, you leave your layers on which can get pretty warm.
but what if you DO decide to take the layers off because say...you're in a classroom. Then you peal them off one at a time. right? wrong! its so much more complicated than that! which one do you take off first? The natural instinct would be to take off your bag. maybe. maybe not. depends on if your ipod cord is under or over your bag strap. and where your scarf fits into all of this. is that over or under the strap? the cord? Think now, what did you put on first? and did you wrap the scarf more as you were walking? which coat is your ipod in? the top one or the fleece? because more than once ive tried to remove my bag only to get completely tangled in...well everything.
moving on.
winter months dry out your skin and lips. not a problem. applying chap stick and lotion is not a hassle. BUT if you then decide to shield your face from the wind with your scarf you end up pulling off scarf hairs that stick to your chap stick and you'll have green, fuzzy lips ("green" here is a variable) until you wipe them vigorously with your hand or sleeve (which IS a hassle and kinda gross and sticky).
well those are my troubles. i just gotta get into a routine.
i miss everyone!! love you guysssssssssssss!
