How to survive the polar vortex (according to me)

Note: so the last 2 days haven't been as cold but holy cow, this winter has been freezing!!! Why did I ever leave California?

How to survive the polar vortex (I think that's what they're calling it). 

1. When coming home from work go straight to my bed where the electric blanket is already on, and lie there for at least 20 minutes to warm up while checking social media sites and getting caught up on my news and friends.

2. Give myself a pep talk, get out of bed, put on gym clothes, bundle up, go to gym and work it off.

3. Take a hot shower, put on 5 layers of clothing, make dinner, read my latest book club book (just finished The English Patient), eat dinner.

4. Go back to my bed with the electric blanket, watch reruns or the latest episode of Downton Abbey, do some work (if needed).

5. Climb out of bed to make hot chocolate. Go back to bed to drink hot chocolate, watch more Downton, read a little, and go to sleep...with 7 blankets (including the electric blanket) on top of me.

People--this basically describes all of January. Freakin' polar vortex. When is spring?!?!
