So damn cold...

This is the one thing I hate about living in New England. The cold. And when I say cold, I mean high of 32 degrees (that would be freezing for those of you playing at home), blustery wind making your bones ache cold. My face and hands are red, flaky, and dry, my lips are cracked no matter how many times I apply the lip balm, and my feet are ice cubes.

This weather makes my apartment an icebox too, so I'm even more cranky than normal. The wind sways my apartment (yes, the house actually moves!) and makes me dizzy sometimes while other times keeps me awake because I can hear my necklaces clinking together inside my jewelry case. I cover myself in head-to-toe fleece when I am home, plus wear an electric blanket throw, and I've never taken faster showers in my life (I've even considered showering in clothes because it is so cold!) I am miserable and counting the seconds until spring, or at least my next vacation!
