February is half over! Come on Spring!! My bird feeder is back to busy today after the yucky weather this weekend. According to the weather forecast; we might even see sun one day this week. Till then; I'm ready to join Mooch on her heated bed. In the meantime; I've got my Pusheen bathrobe around me. This sucker is almost a blanket. I do have one that is like a blanket; but I can't function in it. It's too plush. I know a lot of people in the US are experiencing extreme cold and icy, nasty weather. Mine could definitley be worse. And I'm just thankful I don't have to go anywhere. I only HAVE to go out to fill the bird feeders.
How do you beat the chilly weather?
In the mornings I definitley go for my fleece robes and a hot cup of coffee. I have several pairs of cabin socks for when I'm lounging around in the evenings or on the weekends too. Those are fuzzy inside and wool outside. They feel nice! If I need to be up and about I have a long wrap around sweater that I love. It's technically a maternity sweater but I love it and I probably tell everyone but the mail lady that's what it is. Because of the extra material it covers my lap a bit when I sit so it feels nice and cozy. Since i'm plus sized; it's probably not completely obvious that it's a maternity sweater so I should really stop feeling like I need to advertise it before someone asks or thinks it. But here I am...
If i'm still chilly in the afternoon; hot tea is amazing! Hot chocolate is great too; but that's usually what I reserve for needing a mental pick-me-up. I found a Coconut Almond Bark black tea recently that is SO good!! In the evening i'll sometimes make herbal tea. But mostly I get under a blanket on the couch with Mooch in my lap. That's the best! It's probably good that I can't spend a whole day with Mooch in my lap because she tends to put me to sleep. It's like her super power or something. She decided to sit on my mom's lap when she was here once and the next thing i knew Mom was knocked out too.
