How Did I Stay Warm Today?

How did you keep warm / cool today? Week six for Welcome to My Reality.

Given that I live in Canada and it is winter - a blasting flipping cold winter, I might add. Keeping warm is vital. It did warm up today to -5 degrees Celsius and the wind chill factor dropped into the negative teens. So much better than the wind chills that edged up into the mid-negative thirties earlier in the week.
So what did I do to stay warm. First and foremost is to change my socks to make sure my feet are dry and warm. That way my feet have a chance to get warm and comfortable. If they get cold, there is not way I can find warmth.

After that, it's dressing in comfortable, cozy clothes. The warmth of track pants and sweat shirts are not to be undervalued. Dressed in these dowdy items, I may look a sight, but I do not care. Warmth does not care what it looks like.

Blankets wrapped around me so I am swaddled in. I stay in comfort on my couch, not moving except to get a hot chocolate or coffee. Maybe even tipping in a dollop of Bailey's Irish Cream for good measure.

Now given I had to work today, I was not able to achieve this level of comfort until I got home from my day. If it was not for the fact that I have to write this blog and do my 750 words, I would already be curled up in bed with a good book, probably one of romantic inclinations.

Have a good night everyone. If you are struggling with the winter, keep warm. If you are feeling the warmth of a summer breeze (oh yes, please) stay cool.
