Hibernation

Yesterday after lunch I settled down on the couch, Cat already curled up next to me, and rested my head for what was going to be thirty minutes. About three hours later I woke up with a splitting headache and a still-sleeping Cat. Oops. Hence the lack of a post yesterday.

Winter just makes me want to hunker down, hibernate, and stay warm. We recently decided to kick the thermostat up to 67 degrees (splurge!) but it doesn't seem to be making that much of a difference. A little travel alarm clock with a temperature feature consistently reads five degrees cooler than the thermostat. I think I know which one is fibbing....

When I can I like to go out for a warm drink to catch up on my reading (I've still got 300+ pages to go of The Idiot before next Sunday. Yikes!). In fact, that's where I'm headed right now. (And because I feel bad, here's a sweet little post on winter to make up for yesterday.)
