Winter Socks Suck!

We have the year’s first snow today. Marcus said it is kiddie snow compared to how much snow they experience in Austria. For me this 7 inch snow is already a nuisance. I mean, snow is beautiful and I like to look at it from inside of a building but when it comes to going out you can count me out.

I remember, before I came to this place I was so looking forward to experience snow because we don’t have it in the Philippines. My first week of snow is fine but afterwards I got sick of it. Not of snow but of winter in general and all the things you need to do to survive this excruciating season.

I hate putting on so many clothes to keep me warm. I hate the oily feeling I get from body moisturisers which I need to apply to prevent my skin from becoming flaky. I hate all the things I needed to do extra for winter. Sigh* I wish we can skip this season.

At Home with R

We have our first snow here today. For once, the weather forecast is right.

R decided to stay home today because he claims he have a terrible headache. Ja ja. I think he just wants to play around with his new laptop. He installed Linux in it last night and he didn’t part from it since except for a few hours when he decided to join me in bed to sleep. He called in sick this morning and surprisingly, his boss and three more of his colleagues are also “sick” and are staying home. WTF! These employees are so unbelievably spoiled! R said it is pretty much the end of their project already so there’s not so much work for them. He said it is perfect time to use their “sick leave” and other sickness benefits.

Okay, I have to admit I like it very much that R is staying home today. I just wish that he would spend more time with me than with Linux.
