I appreciate our friend @JudyEv sharing how warm it is where she lives in Australia. It must be that I am getting prepared to go back to work. The day has dragged. It does not feel like I have done much at all.I am feeling bored. I will admit I have cooked quite a bit, and packed up some lunches for work starting Wednesday. Hubby has had sports on television almost all day. We did play a table game and a game of chess. Honestly, I do not like chess as I am not a logical person. I know I have complained a lot about the cold, as have many others. It is really a part of life, but brrr. My feet are complaining.

I don't even want to listen to the song...I'm dreaming of a white Christmas if white Christmas means I'll be frozen cold!

I think snow would be warmer than all of this wind. I hope you are staying warm.

@GardenGerty though it has been raining since yesterday, we don't have to layer up to stay cold.

That is what I need to be doing. Maybe I will after lunch.

Warm socks are for sure in order. If it gets much colder, going to need to wear my outside hat inside! You sound like you are feeling better. Hooray!

Thanks for the mention. I guess it can be hard to fill in time sometimes when it is so miserable outside.

I'm pretty much use to the cold, it's a part of Michigan's long history.

Hubby grew up in Michigan but it has been a lot of years since he was there for a winter.

@GardenGerty It's a nice place to grow up, but as I get older, the cold winters are hard on my body.

If I lived in Australia I would be complaining about the heat. Much as I'm not crazy about the extreme cold, I like it better than the heat.

I have had enough of both extremes for a while, but all my complaining does nothing for it. One reason our house gets cold is because it has window air conditioners in all four bedrooms.

@GardenGerty Can you cover the windows with plastic to keep any breeze out?

That crap will be here tomorrow, I am dreading my cold feet. I think when I finish my novel I will go back to painting, I need to organize so much too. I have to work Wednesday and Friday next week and the high temps will be 30!

30 sounds good to me, but I am not from one of the warmer states as you are. It is too easy for me to just spend time in the kitchen.
