    Hello honey, hope today wasn't as bad as you were expecting.

    I was so cold yesterday I put tights on under my leggings and then trousers on top. I also had socks and boots on, a vest, a top and a cardi, a scarf and gloves and coat. The only thing that got removed in work was the coat and gloves, the rest stayed put.

    I could have gone in for this:

    I'm now home and catching up on diaries. Don't worry about the hair situation, you are allowed some worsel gummidge time whilst recovering.

    It will all be ok in the end, it always is. All this BS will make me appreciate 2013 even more. If I am able to travel I have a work trip coming up the last week of January so I will go see my mom at te end of the trip. That will be a nice thing, and free since my company will pay for the flight and my mom can pick me up from my office in NY. We can spend some of my 16 days of vacation I have to use up before March :)
