Yes, that’s right, winter is here. It may not be here to stay, but this morning it was cold. Not in the house – but when I stepped outside with the dog the cold hit me like slap in the face. I put my toque (funny Canadian word for winter hat) and gloves on. Agh.

At work I was fine, of course. My boss never turns down the heat there. For the cats, you know.

And then I came home to a much cooled down house, baked some zucchini loaf (it was excellent) and froze my little butt off. I ended up finding a reheatable gel pack and it is my new best friend. I heated it up in the microwave, and then when I crawled into bed with my laptop I stuck it down by my feet. Aahhhh!!! Heat radiating up my poor, frozen feetsies! This is truly wonderful.

On one of my forums I posted a list – with pictures – of the carriers I want most. It helped me clarify two things: one, I want the chocolate Moby, and two, I want the Zoie Hotsling. So I of course did a search on TBW forums for used slings and found that used Zoie Hotslings are very plentiful (yay for choosing a popular print), and for a very good price. So hopefully I can pick one up shortly. :D

I’m still totally stumped on the Mei Tais though. I’ll let it marinate some more. See what’s out there.

I slept like crap last night. I was wide awake for hours, and then when I forced myself to sleep it was fitful, with a lot of waking up and stressing over stupid things. I woke up at 6am and couldn’t fall back asleep. I ended up not going into work until noon, but even then I STILL couldn’t even take a nap. I was so frustrated! (Though it did let me get some work done.)

Now I think I’m about to crash. Literally, I can feel my body shutting down. So tired. Hopefully I sleep really well tonight.
