In Sympathy for my Frozen Eastern Friends...

... It's supposed to be rather cold here, too.  Thursday and Friday, our highs are predicted to be 49... FORTY NINE!!!!  I had to check to make sure I hadn't mistakenly called up the forecast for Bismark, North Dakota!

Oh holy cow.  Good thing Julie made me all those knitted goodies.  I'm wearing my Pittsburgh Steelers' Daniel Sepulveda jersey, but I'll tell you now, it won't cut it with THOSE temperatures. 

Well, the lows are going to be 30 degrees those two days.  I may actually have to break down and turn on the heat pump.  Or, I could grab the chihuahuas and use them as heating devices and just stay in bed.  No, that won't work.  Gotta go do a blood draw on Wednesday, and chemo on Thursday.  Argh... I'll have to go OUT INTO IT!  What if it snows?  I can't drive in snow.  I can't even be outside in snow.  ... calm down, woman... it won't snow.  IT WON'T SNOW!

Whoa, I almost got hysterical there. :D  But seriously, that's pretty freaking cold, and the forecast does say rain both those days.  Time to get out the REAL coat, I guess... you know, wool, as opposed to fleece. ;)  I wear it a couple of times a year.

And in the spirit of the season, here is my Undead Rogue, Ynez, on her festive Holiday Mount, flying over the vast continent of Northrend.

Have a lovely Monday, everyone.  Be safe, warm and loved.

  1. We are supposed to get up to 50 this week, that is hot for these parts at this time of year. When we moved back here I did not possess a coat, boots, sweaters, or a scarf. Needless to say I have them now in abundance.
    Stay warm girl
