'Tis the season to be....COLD!!!

URgh!!! I really , strongly and utterly DISLIKE (hate is such a strong word) the winter in Sweden! Yesterday morning the temperature was -14*Celsius (7*Farenheit)!!! Inside our house it was 17*C (62*F)!!! That is just TOO F***ing cold!

And just when you thought it was enough, the thermometer outside the kitchen window showed -16*C (3*F)!!!!

I have to wear a beanie or the hood of my polar fleece hoodie inside, since I have no hair (alopecia universalis). And that just isn't right!

Me right now

I do like the four seasons we have in Sweden, that they are different from each other, but I just wish that we could turn up the heat a few degrees all year round. I mean summer here usually isn't very warm either.

I would like to live somewhere warmer, because the weather here is handicapping for me. When I'm too cold I can't think or move properly, everything slows down, maybe I'm a bear who needs to hibernate... BUT I like Sweden, the social security benefits we have, the safety, the mentality (most of the time)...

But I guess we all have weather issues. I read on Dixie DIY's blog that she thinks it's a little too warm for December in Texas, USA, 26*C (80*F)!!!!! Seems like the opposite of my problem even though we're both in the Northern hemisphere.

At least I've put up the advent lights in the windows, it gets a little lighter and cosier.
