Winter.  A splendid time to wish that you were a bear.  Because if you were a bear, hibernation would be socially acceptable.  Apparently our society isn't stable enough yet to shut down and let us all hibernate with wifi and chocolate for a few months out of the year (You'd think we should have progressed that far by now).  Someday, but not today.  No, today we just need to tough it out.  I, for one, am very weak when it comes to bitter coldness.  I'm a sore loser.  So here's to you, people who actually remember to heat their cars up before they go to work!  May you always own a car with seat warmers.  Here's to you, people with the gloves that let you text while wearing them!  May you never be unable to reply to an important text or email because you can't feel your fingers.  Here's to you, people who don't work at places with a drive-thru window!  May you always be able to work without snow blowing in your face and people yelling at you through intercoms.  CONGRATS, you all win at winter.  Unfortunately, we can't all be winners.  So here's to you, people who slip on ice every time they walk out the door!  Here's to you, people who get their cars stuck in the snow on a regular basis!  Here's to you, people who want to punch those who love the cold in the face!  You can do this.  I believe in you.  Just a few more months of denial and anger, and it will be over before you know it!  Until then, try really hard to remember to warm your car up beforehand, or better yet, avoid making unnecessary plans that force you to leave the house, take one big trip to the library and renew your books every month until winter's over, buy a big warm scarf that could possibly also pass for a blanket, maybe enter all those online raffles for a beach house, maintain your Starbucks Gold Level for another year, invest in a Netflix account and some store-bought cookies, cozy up next to a fireplace (if you don't have one, you can always temporarily move in with someone who does...I'm sure they'll be fine with it), purchase a sleeping bag you can walk around in (you can find that here) and a good selection of fuzzy socks, and attempt to get your winter-loving co-workers to work the drive-thru window for you.  Good luck.
