Undone by the weather

[atrius]

I'm trying to keep it together, but things keep unraveling at the seams. I'm racking up a lot of expenses this month and that's partially due to this goddamn unnaturally cold weather. I've had to buy a hat and pyjama bottoms to keep warm while I sleep at night, but that apparently hasn't done me much good because now I have chilblains on one toe

Maybe an electric blanket? There are "throw-size" ones that run about $40 at CVS or Walgreens, and you can drape them over your lap and feet while you work and then drag them to bed.

Maybe so, though I think simply getting thicker warmer socks might do the trick. I realized today that the socks I have really are pretty thin and crappy. Man. . normally I'm fine in cold weather. I'm so unused to suffering from the cold that when it actually comes in extremes it takes me a while to figure out first, that I am abnormally cold and secondly the appropriate measures to take to remain warm enough. >_
