I feel like such a sissy. When I moved here in January, in the dead of “winter”, I didn’t use my winter coat because it didn’t get below, like, 40, so I totally didn’t need it. Today, October 2nd, I decided that I’d take a scarf and light jacket with me to work. When I had to walk outside to get lunch, my bones felt cold. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?! I survived 20+ years of winters with subzero temperatures, wind, snow and ice, and now anything below 50 makes me freezing. I was so cold when I got home from my letterpress class last night that I turned on the fireplace, the heat, put my striped onesie on and cranked up both sides of my heated mattress pad. I feel like I’m losing my Central New York blood and it’s being traded for blood from a sissy bitch raised in the tropics. I swear I will never lose my ability to drive…
