it hasn't been THAT cold since I moved to this country... *shudder*

Wow. It really is murder out there. Sparkling white, frigid oblivion. The radiators are blasting hot, but I can still feel the icy wind cutting through the cracks in my old window frames. You'd have to pay me a million bucks to make me go outside right now. And it's supposed to get colder by tomorrow morning. BUT I have good news. Our office will be closed. They sent out the automatic voicemail to all employees around 4:00 this afternoon; and then my boss also called me on her cellphone to confirm that I got it. So that was a massive relief. I am also immensely glad that I dragged my ass out to the grocery store yesterday. I did get my period on Friday night, so I was feeling pretty crappy; but I also knew that the weather was going to get worse later, and that the sooner I manage to stock up on food, the better. So I grit my teeth, bundled up and trudged, ankle-deep in snow, to the supermarket. It was an exhausting enterprise that took about two hours... LOL. But it is done, and I didn't have to face the Arctic blast today (or tomorrow). And since I also don't have to go to bed early tonight, I might just as well attempt that year-end meme I have seen floating around...
