Freaking Wintery Cold

It's freaking wintery cold here. Wind chill feels knife-like as we went straight from comfortable to just nasty.
My flu shot provider cancelled me (and the family--it was through Motorola) so going to my allergist for it--on my birthday, late this month. I'm totally being like an old lady trying to gradually acclimate myself to the cold so swimming got skipped in favour of watching a half-way descent ep. of Lost. I had to wash my "real" winter coat, too after fetching it from the under-the-stairs closet in the basement.
