it pains me to say it, but a 30 minute cardio thing keeps me warm for maybe 90 minutes after. Also going out for a walkwarms me, and when I get home my place feels a lot warmer compared to outside.
I live in southern California so cold is relative!
Also wear a warm hat at home!

nikau for both you and Bee! I could never get warm when I was sitting still and my hands and feet are always cold. In a restaurant or theatre I'd have to bring along an extra sweater or thick shawl. At home, always had to have on socks, robe or sweater. finally went to the doctor, learned I was anemic. I could not do the iron pills so I started eating red meat (real big, heavy meals) twice a week + daily smoothies with spinach to help. Still have cold hands and feet but now I'm not cold all the time! And an added bonus, my periods are slightly less painful!

The feeling of getting cold is one of the most physically engaging sensations. I hate being cold for a long time but initially, it makes me hyperaware and clears my mind
Waking up in the winter months and going outside first thing, whether it be to get breakfast or for a walk, benefits my daily routine

It is freezing in my house and nothing helps more than running a blowdryer inside my socks and putting them on. Really helps me on those cold winter mornings.

I hate to be this person but the only thing that has really helped me in the winter is 1. Getting up early to see some sunlight. don’t sleep until 11 pm 2. Exercising outside, even when it’s cold.
I used to be like “why would anyone run in the winter it’s so miserable” and now I understand that if you layer up a ton and dress appropriately it’s honestly not so bad! but u need to understand I was driven to try it out of misery ✌️. ofc this is barring inclement and extreme weather, coming from someone who lives in NJ and lived in Boston for 5 years. still cannot say I enjoy the winter and I have some remaining mood issues but changing my mindset around exercise has helped me.

I’m not sure why, I guess things ending are sad. Here’s a self portrait I made in charcoal. The proportions are wonky but it kinda looks like me!

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
