Below zero

It is cold.

Not just below zero cold (which it is).

Not just close schools cold (which they did).

Not just record-setting cold (which it was).

It's wear-long-underwear-inside cold. Walk-the-dog-for-two-and-a-half-minutes-cold. Shower-just-to-get-warm cold. Avoid-anything-that-doesn't-involve-sitting-on-the-couch-under-two-blankets cold.

And yet, I have a warm house, warm clothes, money for the gas bill, and above-mentioned long underwear, safe neighborhood to walk the dog, hot shower water, couch, and blankets. So I am grateful.

And cold.
