Baby, its COLD outside!
Nov. 29th, 2006 06:30 amI got up nice and early today to go to the gym, but a peek outside and a look at the weather channel has me discouraged. It is currently 20 degrees, and my car is covered in ice. But I called, and the gym is open, so I should motivate. Then again, maybe it would be safer to stay home and do a yoga video...
As usual, after having lived in Chicago, I am amused by how freaked out Seattle is by the weather. Though admittedly, it is the surrounding areas that have had really damaging weather, and we have gotten off relatively easy. Though I am worried about my garden hose (which I forgot to take off and bring inside), and my outside faucets (which I almost bought insulators for last month, and then didn't...DOH). Cold weather has never given me trouble with these things before, but maybe I've just been lucky? The one problem I consistently have, when it is this cold, is that my drivers door latch on my car, and the lock, both stick. So IF I get the door open, it doesn't close again until the car warms up. I've finally just started getting in through the passenger side when it is that bad.
Yesterday my work closed at 4pm. I had been annoyed because I had worked 12-8 to attend a meeting which got canceled, but then I ended up getting a short work day, so it wasn't so bad after all. I'm watching the library website to see what the plan is for today.
It would be nice to just stay nestled up all day and get caught up on some reading...
