_aerye_'s run of early mornings has ended, and while I'm glad for her, it was a great pleasure having her daily sleep-deprived postings. *g* In her honor, I actually slept in until 6:30 this morning, and felt very decadent.

It's easy to be a slugabed when arising means leaving the warm bed-cave and emerging into the distinctly chilly air. Must get the bedroom windows insulated this weekend, as we seem to have descended directly into winter; it got up to all of 24 yesterday, and is 15 this morning. In other words, perfectly nice typical January weather, apart from the fact that it's still November fergodsake. So I'm once again practicing all the classic cold-coping strategies: recreating a vivid sensory memory of exactly how *real* cold feels (say, 20 below) so that 15 above feels balmy in comparison; swilling hot beverages; putting the mind elsewhere; the ever-popular Retract the Nerve Endings, Ray. *g*

I am cranky because my VividCon DVDs have not yet arrived, but I am consoled by sisabet's most adorably drunken recaps. On the other hand, it's probably just as well they haven't arrived yet, because I have a ton of scutwork to do around here this weekend, which I should probably go and get cracking on. *sigh*
