The Cure For Winter Blues=


1. Sierra Designs down booties. I have worn mine down, but they are still part of my indoor winter uniform.

2. Dagoba Hot Cocoa. See previous post.

3. Trader Joe's Honeybush tea. See previous post.

4. Trader Joe's Red Pepper and Tomato soup. See previous post.

5. Scarves.

6. Strolling around New York. Yesterday, a stranger told me, "Transcend the nonsense." I'm working on it.

7. Fingerless gloves. It's still not cold enough to have the fingers completely covered; they just get sweaty and suffocated.

8. Sleep. Last night I slept for twelve hours. If I'm not a bear, I don't know what I am.

9. Coffee. Today I got up at 2 pm, so I didn't have any coffee. That's right, no coffee. A clean and sober day to detox. But in general, coffee is my main ingredient for curing those winter blahs.

10. Hot showers. Lots and lots of hot showers.

Truth: So far, winter blues haven't really happened. There's still too much to do and to love in this city.

Tomorrow's goal is to get myself a New York Public Library Card.
