brr.

Cold.

We didn't turn the heat on last night, and then it started raining, so it was a damp, chilly house this morning. And at around 5, we were joined in bed by a small Zweeble with icy cold feet. He stuck them on me, sighed the sigh of the perfectly content, and went back to sleep.

Cold I can handle. Cold and damp, not so much. Actually, any temperature combined with damp. I don't like damp. (Which makes living in the humidity capital of the US problematic.)

I want a nice, halfway adult looking winter coat. The last coat I bought ... well, actually, it was a gift from my dad when I was in college. And 20 year old me is not 37 year old me. For one thing, I actually have to look professional regularly. For another, the coat is 17 years old. Of course, it only gets used for about three weeks a year now, so it's well-preserved. The next coat I buy will likely last until I'm dead.

I could always check Goodwill ... recent transplants chucking their wool coats with the expectation that it never dips under 70 down here ...

Okay, I am trying to avoid cleaning the kitchen, and I have run out of yammer.
