What the cold does to the Duck...

When the Minnesotans tell you that it's cold, it's cold. It's really cold in Minnesota right now. Grr....I'm trying to stay warm, but that's not working out for me so well. I did give up and start using the puffy coat that invites ridicule from the "real" mid-westerners. However, I am a wannabe mid-westerner, so I will wear the puffy coat with extreme pride.

Cold also makes me sleepy. So reading the tons of books that I have to read this semester is a challenge! My classes are quite interesting this semester, so I enjoy the reading, it's just that I'm cold!

Hot Chocolate is my friend. mmm.....Hot Chocolate.....

I usually swing toward too much self care or no self care. I've never found that balance. How or what are your ideas for self care? What do you do for self care?

I cannot check IMDB at a moments notice. I cannot check Facebook, MySpace or e-mail. I cannot watch YouTube, check up on blogs, look for plane tickets, look for answers to all the random questions I have while watching TV, research (read: play Webkinz . I do read actual reports too...) and play Scrabulous. I cannot instant message or Skype! What am I going to do with myself? Well, I’m blogging with MS Word. I started to clean my desk. I’m watching shows on DVD that I haven’t had time to watch since I got them. (Star Trek: Voyager and The Muppet Show, yes, I am a geek.) I never realize how the internet has revolutionized how I live until it’s gone. I depend on it for research, communication and recreation. I wonder what is going to happen over the next 5, 10, and 20 years how it will ...
