marcicat*Time to get ready to go adventuring!
*Time to add some more warmer clothes to the pile!
*Time to... close the windows? In a shocking development, it's actually pretty chilly out right now.
*Not nearly as chilly as it is predicted to be in the mountains for our adventure!
*Ahaha I have spent the week checking the mountain weather reports and reminding myself that I have done plenty of outdoor walking in colder temps, and it'll be fun!
*Sometimes this reasoning is even convincing!
*Gotta love outdoor adventures. In the span of two weeks, I've gone from 'what are the symptoms of heat exhaustion' to 'what are the symptoms of frostbite.'
*Reminder to myself: put the next day's clothes inside your sleeping bag with you so they'll be toasty warm in the morning.
*Reminder #2: cold weather will drain the phone battery faster -- find an inner pocket to stash it.
*Reminder #3: in the mountains, no one cares how foolish you look. Wear ALL the layers!

I was like, look, I'm lazy, so it doesn't take much to convince me to eat in bed, but that makes sense to me!

Huh! This isn't something I knew, and am glad I do now.
