More winter blah...

Today is another cold day. And idiot that I am when it comes to winter weather, I thought that wearing a wool coat over my lambswool sweater would be enough to combat below freezing temperatures made even colder by the wind chill. The moment I stepped out of the house, I knew I made another fashion faux pas even if I'm not wearing my stilleto-heeled boots anymore. Not that it would have mattered too much. Most of the snow and ice on the pavement had already melted (thanks to yesterday's brief spell of warm weather), and it's supposed to stay clear and sunny today. But the wind... bbbrrrrrrrr! I walked over to the other building just a few minutes ago, and it was all I could do to keep from freezing!

I should have worn my down-filled coat today, but when I opened the closet this morning, I found my black wool coat just begging for attention. I had not worn it in more than a month, and besides, it matched my outfit so I threw all caution to the wind and ignored the little voice in my head saying I should wear a warmer coat. Even when I was shivering as I headed towards the car, I never told Dan I regretted not putting on my down coat. I just knew what he would tell me: serves you right, honey! I've heard him complain so many times about how many winter coats I own, and yet I never wear the right one when it matters. *sigh*

Summer is a lot less complicated than winter, and that's why I miss it so. But spring is almost around the corner and just the thought of warmer weather makes me happy. Besides, there is that promise of tropical bliss when we visit Davao next month. It will be April when we come back, and it will be a hell of a lot warmer then. So yay! I guess I can endure a little bit more of this darn bitter cold New York winters.
