Ditto; if I wouldn’t go out in the dark, I couldn’t come from work until spring!

(Don’t give employers any ideas!)

I love the cold, but I prefer to not go out in the dark, but then I’ll look at the clock and remind myself that it only \*\*\*looks \*\*\*like it’s 11 PM…and it’s actually 5:30, so stop being a lazy bint and do the errands!
