I Hate the Cold

I Hate the Cold

For those who do not know me; I hate the cold! Anything below eighty degrees is not warm enough for me.

The Chill

Slowly it crept into the house late this evening while I was asleep filling each room with its presence. Eventually I could no longer ignore it and fall back asleep. Up I rose out of the bed clutching my blanket around me whilst reaching for my robe which had been thrown over the back of a nearby chair. I quickly pulled it on under the blanket, readjusting where necessary as to not let my skin be prickled with its touch.

It was the early hours of the morning and I was awake. I was standing in a dark room shivering, deciding on a plan of action, while trying to find that cozy position before shaking from the warmth I had ensnared in my wrappings. I reached into the crevices of my mind looking for a way to stay warm and put me back to sleep. It took a moment to illuminate, but I had finally come across hot chocolate as a solution.

Springing to life I dashed into the kitchen where it was the warmest. I drew out all the ingredients I would need: a saucepan, milk, coco mix, a spoon, and a glass. I turned on the gas stovetop burner and set to work. The brilliance in the plan was that by enacting it I was guaranteed to stay warm from the flames on the gas range.

In no time was I concerned with the air around me. I could feel warmth spreading all over my body relaxing my senses that had been on edge all night while the temperature dropped. As the aroma drifted up from where I had recently stirred in the mix, I was in my own world again thinking back on merry times. If I could freeze this moment and live in it forever I’d be in a better mood.

Once I had poured myself a healthy cup full of warm chocolate I returned to my room. It was still cold in the house, but I was warming up. I then logged onto gay.com where I ran into “My Giant,” whom I chatted with for a bit before he signed off for bed. I’ve been awake ever since trying to fall back asleep, but no such luck.

Given that I was awake and bored, I thought I’d rant and rave on my blog since as of lately I’ve been neglecting it. This is mainly due to the fact that nothing of interest is going on in my life.

The Latest Knitting News:

I need to find someone that I will be around on a regular basis who has a digital camera and who can keep my knitting updated with recent pictures. I’ve started on a second scarf that looks like it will take very little time to knit up; mainly due to the fact that I’m using larger needles and a bulkier yarn. Cheers for the quick projects! I’m still not sure if I like the color or not. I may end up gifting it to someone; I’m not sure yet.

The first scarf which is going at a snails pace, is I’d say about twenty percent done. I know I’m giving this away when I’m done with it. I’m sick of looking at it already. When will it ever be done? Ugh!

I still haven’t bought the yarn for any of my sweaters. Mainly due to the fact that I keep going out and spending my extra money on drinks and mainly pool. However, I think that may be changing seeing as how “My Giant” and “The Hobbit” now have a bar and game room at their place. The drinks and games are much cheaper there.

As a side note to the mentioned above, my World of Warcraft account is inactive. The prepaid game card time just ran out on it on the eighteenth. Damn, there is always something to turn around and spend money on! But this is something that I love to play; so in the end it’s worth it.

I also need to knit something for “The Queen Bee” for her upcoming birthday in November. Not sure what to make. All I know is it has to be something that can be washable.

Not sure what else to write about. It’s very early and I’m tired. I’ll talk to you guy later. Cheers mates.
