it's too cold!

I keep making mistakes these dark and cold mornings.

First is not to leap out of bed before I realise how cold it is, and I'm sure it is colder this year;

Second is to have saved the Methven current temperature to my iGoogle homepage (currently it's -2 there). That's a freezingly scary thought since we only have a wee oil fin heater in the office because we have to apply for funding to get a real heater, darn not-for-profit outfit I work for;

Third is that I keep setting and lighting the fire when I get up. This causes a great deal of problems for me because I then find it very hard to leave the warm hearth to have a shower, get breakfast or anything really and then find I'm late for work, not that I can be late cause when I add my hours up each week I tend to have a few up my sleeve and the CEO did ask me yesterday how many days I am owed yesterday in a way that I took to mean "take them!"

I say hurry up shortest day of the year!!! oh, cause you know that means summer is just six weeks away when the days get longer... I know, it's my way of coping.

It's so cold it will be a clear day today so I will stop and take a photo or two of how beautiful the snow blanketed mountains are.
