more on the cold weather!
I think I have said this before, but I shall do so with proper capitalizations, expletives, etc.:
IT IS F!@#$ING COLD OUTSIDE!
I ran some errands today, bundled up in: tights, socks, a turtleneck, a sweater, a fleece, a coat, scarf, hat, gloves, and I was waddling like a duck. Quack quack, all very funny and amusing, right? Not really.
It hurts to go outside. I learned from some Finnish friends that first one gets red cheeks, sign of cold, and then, when they turn white, they are - literally - being frozen. So white cheeks is bad news. Stick with the red.
My body ends up aching after walking in this weather. UGH.
Take care, folks!
