Stars. Night. Cold.

"Everyone, everyone you look so lonely...when I look at the stars I feel like myself" - Switchfoot

This song has been running through my head lately. Good riff, good hook, and I'm feeling the message. Check out Jon and the Switchfoot boys.

I should really be asleep right now. Since the New Year I have been so tired. Part of it was having too much fun, part was waking up New Year's Day with a sniffle and sore throat that had nothing to do with the fact that I was in a bar the night before, and most of it is adjusting to being back to the grind of working every day after over a week off work.

As a frugal little homeowner I have been trying to keep my heat down since I am home so little during the day and I would like to be a little bit energy conscious. (my father is snorting at this since when I lived at home all I would do is complain about being cold.) So, I am cold. My fingers are freezing and when I wrap up on the couch to watch a little TV I have to pull the blanket around my nose.

The new routine is that about a half hour or so before I go to bed, I turn on my nifty new little electric blanket that I got for Christmas. Then when I finally pop my little eskimo toes (oh, yes... I don't like socks either) into bed it is toasty warm. The cats LOVE it and end up on top of my feet for most of the night. The only problem is that I wake up sweating halfway through the night - but I guess nothing is perfect.

So I guess it's about time for me to go snuggle up with my stuffy nose and go to sleep. Stay warm, wherever you are.
