It has been cold. Like -30 cold. Colder with willchill, -40 maybe? Can't tell really at that point, you just want to cover as much of your face with your scarf, and try to keep your eyes open because the condensation from breathing into a scarf is making ice crystals on your eye lashes. Your focus has to be on anything but the cold.

As long as I keep moving my toes will be fine in my runners. No more than 15 minutes, of course.

Standing is difficult. I easily spend a whole day at work standing these days. It is so much more difficult than walking! I finally understand why it was used as a form of punishment in school. I swear I will marry the first foot massage therapist I run into at the end of the day. I might even sacrife my happy ever after with a chef... maybe not... I wonder if this is why some men dream of multiple wives.

Going home, going home. I don't get to go home this year for our new year... some of you know how that feels. It is not unlike walking in -30 weather, you focus on everything else but that tug you feel.
