Baby it's cold outside

Actually, it's a comfortable 76F outside here in Orlando, and I'm comfortably snuggled up on the couch in my parents' house.

I haven't done too much lately: finished the semester, turned everything in, came home, cooked and cleaned, then had a fantastic Christmas party before sleeping for two days.  Now I'm working on my grad school applications so I can get them off my back, and then I'm going to have some fun by doing NOTHING at all.

That is all :)

That's Cold

So last night I couldn't sleep...it was SO freaking cold.  It was 38F outside, and for some reason my heater doesn't turn on unless it's set to 75F so I was huddled in bed in my sweats, a robe, my throw, and my coverlet and I still couldn't sleep.

It finally warmed up around 5 or 6 am and I consequently slept until 11:30 am.  Fortunately, I didn't have much in the way of grocery needs so I just walked to the store and bought my milk and cheese (...and candy canes...) and walked back.  I can't believe I fly out in 10 days!

Anyway, I refuse to spend another night like that, so this morning when I was brushing my teeth I had a brilliant idea.  Instead of spending $20 I don't have on another throw, I just got my sleeping bag out of the top of my closet, unzipped it, and it's now lying on my bed as an extra blanket.  It's a very warm sleeping bag, so hopefully it'll keep me warm.  I might have to put it under the coverlet to work best, but anything is better than spending $100 on my gas bill to keep my apartment at a reasonable temperature.

I've been pretty stressed lately...so much to do and it's so difficult.  Applying to grad school is tough...my thesis is tough...focusing in general is tough!  And it's cold.

Brrrr!
