Thoughts on a bitterly cold day
Posted by Gretchen under Life, Personal, Out and About
I should have worn pantyhose under my pants because this thin cloth is just not cutting it.
I hope the office isn’t still out of tea and coffee.
What’s the freezing temperature of snot?
I wonder what it’s called when the wind blows so hard on your forehead that you get a headache from it.
Why did I buy a white coat when all my winters are spent in Pittsburgh? Seriously.
I think that dude just saw me wipe my nose on my mitten and then nonchalantly drag it across the thigh of my jeans. Very classy.
She’s wearing a skirt and boots but no tights. How is she not dead?
Goddamn it, does the walk usually take this long?

pantyhose + knee socks = how I survived five winters in Oakland and one working in a restaurant that didn’t have heat until noon.
I had a white coat, too — I washed it at least every other weekend.
Good luck staying warm!
