It's getting warmer!

Here's a picture of us at our work Christmas party...don't we look good? It was fun, but don't try working an event the next morning...and no, I wasn't drinking!

It's getting warmer, but I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Windchill Warning...

After a day of cold temperatures, the weather people decide to post a windchill warning last night! Yesterday I cosidered getting a taxi after work at night, but I wore this instead:

footless tights
socks
leggings
my work pants
ski pants
work shirt
sweater
sweatshirt
fleece jacket
wool coat
sheepskin boots
two pairs of mittens (i think i need to make an improvement...my hands were cold)
touque (sp?)
scarf

Yes, I'm sure I looked funny, but I was warm. I was sure people at work would comment, but no one did!

It was probably around -38 with the windchill when I left work.

Right now it's -28 with a -39 windchill and it's only 10:15am. I don't start work until 1:15 and I'm done at 9:15. But last night when I was waiting for the bus, an out of service one was sitting there so we could wait in it and stay warm. Maybe tonight will be -40 with windchill when I leave work!! What fun, what fun :)

I hope everyone else is warm, safe and dry!

I don't like renting!

So, what else can go wrong with this house? Last night I stayed up until 3am waiting for someone from ATCO Gas to come and deal with the natural gas smell in the kitchen. I had to keep the window open and it was FREEZING! When he finally came, there was no smell. Now, there is a tap dripping from the inside in the basement. It's -25 outside...hopefully it doesn't freeze and then explode. I called the landlord and left a message, I really hope he does something about it.

It's cold and I'm whimpy! I guess it'll be a white Christmas though. How did I survive four years in Regina?

Well, now it's time to keep getting layered for work!! I think I'm going to wear my ski pants today!!

But, I realize that it's probably colder elsewhere. And at least I have a roof over my head. If you think of it, please pray for the homeless in Calgary, there aren't enough shelters and someone died on the street a few days ago.

Blessings,

Julie
