It’s (Almost) the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I love cold weather. Winter is my favorite season of the year. This morning, in my mind, cold weather officially began. What made me think this? Denis woke up and pulled our down comforter up over us in the middle of the night. Ususally I’m the one doing it, longing for winter and sweating up a storm because it’s still summer. But I woke up to see Denis tugging up the comforter and I gleefully grabbed my corner and helped him. It was so wonderfully toasty warm that I fell right back asleep and didn’t want to wake up.

My other clue that cold weather has arrived: Freddie the Cat slept on our bed last night. He never does this unless he wants to cuddle in the cold. I woke up at some point and saw he and Ginger snuggling together in between Denis and me. So cute – pity it only lasts a few months out of the year.

So, in honor of fall finally being upon us, I broke out the hot chocolate at work and made myself a cup. CHEERS!
