Winter Redux

I think Mother Nature's day planner's a bit off. Winter has just arrived, three weeks from spring. It's a whopping 4* outside and windy as all get out. I'm inside, enjoying a nice nosebleed from the frigid, dry weather. The skin on my hands has cracked already, too. I'm becoming wimpy from the previous lack of chill. When I was a teen in Vermont, I thought nothing of standing outside in -11* before the sun rose for the half hour before school began. Now, I grouse if the mercury dips below 40*.

I discovered my newest beauty addiction: Urban Decay's eyeshadow base. My eyeshadow literally stayed on a full day of school, a night of sleeping, and all through today as well.

I finally got a hold of Dawn tonight. They're trying to get down to visit in April before she has the baby. If they can't get down, we're going to try to go up to see them instead. She told me they have baby names picked out (girl and boy, since they don't yet know what they're having) and how Brendan is doing in school. She said he's already reading Dr Suess books, which is really cool. He's also got his heart set on having a baby brother, so we'll see how that goes.

I think I shall be calling my doctor tomorrow. My throat is still really swollen. I have just barely a finger's width between my tonsils and when my mouth is closed, I can feel them on my tongue. Sucks because it also feels like something is caught in my throat and I keep swallowing. I checked out Dr. Internets earlier, but the only symptom I have is a swollen throat. No pain, no fever, no swollen glands elsewhere.
