little warm things

I think I need toe socks. Stripey, cute, warm toe socks. Maybe cat toe socks, black cat toe socks. Because I'm freezing. I'm doing one last load of laundry--well, maybe one more, because I need to wash the afghans my sister made me, so I can put them on the bed and make a nice, warm, gigantic nest. (I love my king size bed.) I don't have any toe socks, I've not had any interest in toe socks before. Instead I'm wearing gray socks with shiny star grips on the bottom. Cute.

I found my jean jacket, pulled all the pins from it, and am running it through the washing machine now. It's a great jacket, and will be very warm over the hooded, long-sleeve t-shirts I have to wear to work. Unfortunately, I only have two colors, but I hope to find more. It is the best shirt in the world, very comfortable and toasty.

I've had pizza, diet dr pepper, fic writing, and a really good movie. Today could only get better if I'd had the chance to talk to Sarah, but we spent a lot of time plotting yesterday, and I can't complain.

I put up Halloween decorations last night; I actually found one of the boxes in the storage unit, so I've decorated a little. I also found some of the gifts I need to mail off to people. Christmas presents will come early for some people.

(Plus those who have already received them, in person, in Florida. Hee.)

I should really get back to writing. Like, right now.

Toe socks are less warm than regular socks, because they separate your toes and you can't share body heat between them.

Well crap. I don't think regular socks are all that warm, and I had hoped having the fabric between the toes might make them warmer. Damn, damn, damn.

Of course, I could just turn on the heater, but I'd have to move the boxes of Christmas stuff out from in front of it and it gets too hot in here and obviously I'm just lazy today.

Thanks, though. I'll skip on the toe socks then.

I recommend the special insulated socks they make for hikers. :-)

Oh, yes, those are comfortable.

I love your icon, by the way.

Heh, thanks. Even [livejournal.com profile] sophonisba was amused and she's not exactly in the best position in the pic. :p
