I'm Not Going Outside Right Now, ThankYouVeryMuch!

So, winter's on. It's cold. But it's been colder.

You know you're old when...

I caught myself remarking on what a mild winter we've been having. I was met with a look of incredulity and disbelief. I insisted it's true because there have been Decembers when it's been minus 50 (celsius) here in our frigid province. And hey, it was only minus eight when I had this conversation, so technically it was true. That didn't convince my conversation companion however, and the look he gave me was a look I'd give a dangerous lunatic.

Now it's a mere minus 14 celsius. So, yeah, still mild.

But I don't wanna go outside. It's grey and dismal and the white of the landscape blends seamlessly into the sky. I think. I can't quite tell... it's all a mishmash of snow and cloud colored nothingness.

I prefer summer, can't you tell?

And the winds a couple of days ago were so strong they knocked over the extra Christmas tree I had out on the porch. Yes, I just left it there. I'm lazy. It's a fundamental flaw of my personality and I'm really okay with it.

And that's also why we prefer to look at the outside from in here.

And here.

We're all about being comfy.

Good luck going outside.
