Brrrrr

 





I live in a 100 year-old farm house that is not insulated and is without a centeral heating and air system.  It is pouring outside tonight and I am really cold - so cold that I am bundled in layers of clothing under a pile of blankets so heavy I can barely move. I considered starting a fire in the little pot-bellied stove in the living room but by the time I came home to when the house would actually warm up, meant that I would be up every couple of hours to keep it going. I am waving the white flag and heading off to sleep. I know I will sleep well but I hope my nose doesn't fall off.

    Something to be said for all that swaddling, but also not circumstances to repeat any more often than absolutely necessary.
