This will be brief, as I have a date with trivia.
It is 18 degrees here. Do you know what 18 degrees feels like? Pretty terrible. My own personal best defense is layering. I don’t mean a cute sweater over a silk-cotton blend turtleneck. I mean a minimum four layers on the top, three on the bottom, and feet.. depends on the level of snow. There isn’t any snow right now, so I’m still going socks-and-shoes only. I also have an inexplicable need to keep people updated on how many layers I’m wearing, as if to reassure myself that I am actually warm.
This is probably really great for my friends, who’s interest in my clothing-layers probably falls somewhere between “American “cheese”?” and “I wonder if I should maybe change my sheets this fiscal quarter.” (If you asked me to make a list of what my friends and I have in common, “failure to change sheets ever” would be in the top five.)
Today Hanna and I went to a nice store (we were in Brookline, it was all they had) and I saw Liner Gloves by SmartWool. That’s right, they are GLOVES FOR UNDER YOUR GLOVES. Amazing. I can use those until June, probably.
Incidentally, I just figured out how to make links work.
Time to suit up!
