Today got colder than I thought it ever got in Vancouver. Here’s how my wonderful little night went:

1. Had to buy groceries at Safeway. Stood out in freezing cold (added bonus: wind chill!) still wearing exercise clothes (read: skimpy pants and shirt) and dinky coat waiting for the bus for about 20 minutes.

 2. Got home and realized that my heat had, for whatever reason, failed to come on during the day.

3. Also realized that I left the window in the bedroom cracked (I need it opened when I sleep) and that the wind was blowing INTO my apartment, making it even colder than it should have been without the heat off. It was 45 degrees.

4. Curled up in blanket with space heater blasting for about twenty minutes before finding the courage to shower.

5. Surprise! No hot water.

6. Made noodles and tried not to freeze to death.

7. Remembered I had a microwave heating pad from my mom. Life got substantially better.
