#itsnotevenwinter

It’s not that cold. It’s windy. But my house likes it brisk, so it’s not letting these chilly temps blow by. I’m feeling super grateful for the giant cowl neck sweater my brother got me last year and the coffee machine my bestie got me this year because the parts to my HVAC haven’t arrived yet and all of my space heaters were in this week’s flood too. It is so difficult for me to engage with the world when I feel the cold on my insides. Next up, I am going to bake something to add to all this coziness and to heat this place up. #ineedadog #itsnotevenwinter #ithoughtfatwassupposedtokeepyouwarm #isitbedtimeyet https://www.instagram.com/p/CVn0klCPhMU/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s kind of ironic when you talk about Winter being on it’s way when it’s a 31 degree day in April. It’s pretty much how it is when you live in Queensland. Being acclimatized does little to negate the fact that once you’ve lived here more than 2 years you really start to feel the cold. When you’re a newbie, fresh off the boat (plane) every weekend is beach weather. Not so much these days. So even though some days are still ridiculously warm, the nights are getting cooler. And with the change in temperature comes the first of the germs for the year. All my kids are crook now and imma bout to lose my shit. They’re needier than usual, and basically just irritable, impossible little gremlins. That’s definitely the worst thing about Winter. But it’s not even Winter! It’s Autumn FFS!!! It’s now that I reminisce about Summer with rose coloured glasses and tell myself it’s only 6 more months until Winter is in the rear-view. Best things about Winter.... for certain later sunrise; early sunset & red wine. The only thing that could of made it better is Game if Thrones. But looks look that’s a gift for 2019. Nothing but germs in my current playlist. I’ll drink to that.

I'm not sure why you decided to rear your head during my finals week but, I have forgiven you for that. However, I am now sick of your shit. You have plagued me for 2 and a half weeks now and you have officially overstayed your welcome. Get out of my system before work on Wednesday or so help me God I'm finding more antibiotics. Sincerly, The Person Really Sick of Coughing!!!

i think it adds a nice touch
