Hibernation Mode

A few things associated with colder weather and this time of year that I am not looking forward to (and some that are already happening which prompted this post):

Driving home from work in the dark - makes 5:00 feel so much later and traffic is worse

Our gas heat - warm but very dry (humidifiers don't seem to help)

Waiting for the sink/shower water to heat up

Cold hands and feet. More specifically, Phillip's cold hands and feet. He has horrible circulation!

Dry, cracked hands

Chapped lips

Getting in a cold car

Getting out of the warm, cozy bed in the morning

Getting out of the shower

Pumping gas - almost brutal at times

Declined productivity

Cold toilet seats

Convincing 2 dogs to drop trou when there is frost on the ground

Going outside for any reason
