On every other morning, I get up at 5:40am to bike.
This morning I got up at 5:40am.

On every other morning, I put on every damn windproof garment I've got.
This morning I put on every damn windproof garment.
But this morning wasn't like every other morning.
This morning it was 36 degrees when I left the house at 5:55am and still 36 degrees when I returned at 7:35am.
This morning I wore ski clothes.

It was freezing when I left this morning, too, right about when you were coming home. I wore my motorcycle gloves instead of my cycling gloves.

ReplyDeletei'm soft!
lauren: strong? no, just busy with no other free time.
ReplyDeleteMs. E: I could use a pair of your gloves. Being warm is all about the ski-wear.
Olaf: Mike tried that one on me yesterday! I should have listened!
