AHHH Hell is frozen!
Ok, not really... But it's currently 33F (1C) in Houston, TX and well...that's close enough to being hell for me. Not only is it almost freezing, it's also drizzling, freezing temps...rain on roads...ice...Houston drivers... bad wrecks... Ok so Amanda is staying off of the roads now that she is back home in her very cold apartment. Why is it very cold? Well, because I hate gas heaters and am only using my little space heater, which doesn't do a whole lot since the window next to my bed isn't sealed properly and it leaks cold air in. Which could be part of the reason that I'm sick right now. Stupid dumb apartment.
