Above is my indoor-outdoor thermometer display. I have the heater on, I am snuggled down under blankets and have a cute pink touque on my head. I am drinking mug after mug of hot coffee. I am cold. Don't you judge me.

QOTD:
What is the temperature outside your house today? Are YOU cold?

rain.


I have rain today. It's different. It rains in the desert but it doesn't RAIN. Not like this. I don't love it or hate it. It does make me miss having a fireplace though.

QOTD:
What weather do you have today? Do you like it or does it make you cranky?
