Day Three Hundred and Forty-Six:  Frost

If I said I wasn’t sitting at my desk bundled in more than one blanket I would be lying.  I have emailed my landlord, because it is actually freezing in here.  There is no difference between my bedroom and a garage right now other than the wireless connection.  When I get into bed I am a snuggle bunny, and I do not enjoy getting out from the mountain of blankets that hold me in at night.  I return home for the holidays tomorrow and it is back to the wonderful bed that I so dearly miss, and television and food I do not have to pay for and it is very exciting to me.  Oh the holidays, they truly begin when you say goodbye to the things that have your mind full of stress.

I want to go skating this holiday.  I haven’t been skating since I was diagnosed with my eye condition and different kinds of physical things could trigger issues with my sight, but I think if the ice was empty and I could be with a confident skater like my dad I’d be okay.  I used to be a good skater, and I think that I want to try again.  Is that strange?  I like to watch people skate if no one will help me, with a hot chocolate and music.  Finally I feel like I can enjoy the hoilldays and the season.

Busy sidewalks, city sidewalks, dressed in holiday style.

The streets lined with lights, trees and stars, the snow coming down… The cold is okay, I guess, if it means that the holidays are here.  I just would like to be able to feel my face and hands while I enjoy it.
