Hope the storm isn’t as bad as you fear 🤞 I always have a hair mask on a Sunday morning. I leave it on for around 20 minutes and put a shower cap over it to retain the warmth. My cats still look at me in alarm despite it being a regular thing 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Is it the hat though? One of our cats totally freaks out if either of us has a hat on - like he can’t recognise us as us!

Be safe and keep warm
I am trying to ignore these insane executive orders .. some of which actually contravene the US constitution!! like legal birthright! (& we all know how important that is apparently esp the right to bear arms)
keep muttering ‘not my circus not my monkeys ‘
DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
