sabineWhen I walked the dog this morning, it was 40 degrees! Above freezing! No gloves or hat required! There was slush everywhere, the Snow Piles Of Doom And Not Seeing Around Corners were getting melty, and life was magical and full of joy.
After our walk, I sat down at my laptop to see what might have happened in the world. Lo and behold, there was a Winter Weather Warning from the National Weather Service. The contents could be summed up as this: "While it may be nice outside right now, DO NOT BE FOOLED! Mother Nature is currently PMSing LIEK WHOA and has it in mind to FREEZE OUR COLLECTIVE ASSES OFF! By the time it gets dark, we should have a couple more inches of snow and the ambient temp will be somewhere around NEGATIVE 5 degrees. And, just in case that wasn't going to be fun enough, there's going to be wind. Lots of wind. 25-35 mph wind. So the windchill factor: Fucking Freezing. There. We said it. Fucking. Freezing."
So I ran my errands and went to the gym when it was still nice out. I now have some pumpkin pie thingies cooling on the stove, a delicious mug of hot chocolate, about 7 more episodes in the first season of Bones, and no plans to be anywhere until 10 tomorrow morning.
And, yes, the piercing is healing fine, though going outside in cold is really, really uncomfortable. Damn heat capacity of metal vs skin.
