I’ve started blow-drying my body in the morning. And not even after I’ve showered. I just plug in my blow-dryer when I wake up and blow hot air on myself because it feels nice, and I need to thaw somehow because it’s FRICKIN’ FREEZING OUT. Don’t even get me started on showering. People who shower every day in the winter are OCD lunatics. I mean, you’re so cold when you get in that you have to scald yourself you witch-killing hottest of the hot water just to semi-enjoy the experience, and then, um, it’s SO COLD WHEN YOU GET OUT HOLY LORD JESUS MY HEEEEEEEEART IS AN ICE BLOCK OF FROZEN PEAS. Then you have to frantically get dressed without putting lotion on and your skin is all dry and your wet sopping hair is leaking all over your sweater and your face is all red and splotchy and you have to stare at your gross pale feet, and uh, NO THANK YOU. I’d prefer to stay warm in my wearing-five-layers on public transportation sweat for at least two days MINIMUM thank-you-very-much. Besides, deodorant commercials keep telling us that their stuff is better than ever, so I think it’s totally fine if we act accordingly and just re-apply a little Dove every now and then.
Some other good winter-battlers are: hot toddies, Doc Rivers whenever he’s saying anything, and reading about Kate and Will’s wedding plans. GOOEY WARM DELICIOUSNESS IS SHE!

Lauren: Good morning Caroline. I’ve already ran 6 miles at the gym, showered, had breakfast and am going to head to the library. Do you want me to open the blind?
(Ruffling blankets. Her body stirs momentarily and she burrows toward the inner wall of our shared college dorm room turning her back to me and the world.)
