You know it’s getting close to winter when taking a shower is as much an exercise in thawing out as actually getting clean.<\/p>\n
I rocked the full set of long underwear this morning. It’s amazing what just another layer between pants and skin can do for one’s warmth. The only problem is that it’s not easily removable like a coat or a scarf, so if it should warm up a little outside, the situation could get uncomfortable. I’m all about clothes that fit closely against one’s skin, no flapping around or looseness, but I also like layers, since they allow me a greater adaptability to ambient temperature. Those two clothing attributes are at odds more often than not.<\/p>\n
We got a tree yesterday! Finally. It’s about a seven-footer, so it’s only a bit taller than me, but it’s full and thick and well-proportioned. I bought a couple of strands of lights and a tree skirt afterwards and we decorated it with the meager number of decorations we have. Stephen tried repeatedly to attach a hook to an empty beer bottle and hang it on the tree, and every time I took it off. The beer bottle was on the tree when I got up this morning. I took it off. If I get the chance I’ll take a tree picture when I get home tonight.<\/p>\n
