We can handle this - Cold weather coming

So far, the weather we’ve had this winter has been right in line with the Old Farmer’s Almanac – dry and cold.

Apparently next week it’s going to get even colder, like below zero colder.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but as I get older I get colder, faster. You would think with the extra insulation I carry with me I’d be fine, but even at the office I have a space heater running under my desk nearly all day.

When I travel on the school bus with the speech and debate team I find myself shivering most of the trip, even though the heater is blowing full blast.

Well this year I got smart and invested in a heated vest. It has a nifty little power supply that also doubles as a phone charger and I must say, not only can I remain connected on the road, I’m also toasty warm!

Of course there’s no problem staying warm at home since there are generally two fur babies on top of me as soon as I sit down. That also means some time in the middle of the night I’m tossing off covers because they are purring heaters, too.

Make sure you’re prepared for the coming chill next week and maybe leave your faucets dripping a little overnight and have that ice scraper ready for the morning.

Even better, stay home under the blankets and read a good book! I’ll be here with my space heater and heated vest, typing away.
