Nice and Toasty
I had a horrible night of sleep, filled with bizarre dreams where my mom had died, but no one had told me until I came home from school. It was quite disturbing, and had weird elements as well (like the gorilla that had been hired to babysit Janie during the funeral reception).
At any rate, I skipped morning classes to try and get some real sleep, but went to the afternoon presentation on Whistler, Canada--and how they have incorporated The Natural Step into their community planning process.
Afterwards, Jo, Paulo, and I went downtown and did a little last minute shopping for our trip tomorrow. I ended up getting new boots, which are rated to -32 degrees Celsius (or -25 degreed Farenheit).
They are VERY nice. I also got a pair of microfleece long underwear, as well as two pairs of thinner long underwear. I am determined to be warm enough! And since we are scheduled to have a snowstorm tomorrow, the excessive spending was worth it!!
After a bit of shopping, we met Amy and Kristoffer at Wayne's for some coffee. The discussion went like this:
Cold weather clothing - Snow sculpture - Snowmobiling - Cold weather activities - Drinking - Swedish sexual proclivities - National sex trends - How to ask girls out on dates
Quite entertaining. Then it was back home (Jo gave me a ride, sweet girl!) and here I am, surrounded by long underwear and a pile of clothing. My plans for the night include cleaning out the refrigerator (I can only imagine what it will be like after a week!), packing (I have to bring my suitcase to school tomorrow morning, since there won't be time to come back at lunchtime), and getting some sleep. This may be my last opportunity to have some quality sleep for many, many days.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the last few days have been slushy and slippery--with freezing rain. Not very fun weather for gallavanting around town in.
