It is absolutely freezing here, which is a harsh reminder that winter exists and I live in a place where there is several months of it to contend with. I did not want to get out of bed today, but I had an 11am appointment in Des Moines to get my nails done, so I forced myself to rally. Unusually, I drove my dad's truck to the appointment - the real reason I made it was because I was going to have to go to Des Moines to drop the truck off for service anyway, so I might as well #treatmyself in the meantime.
So I got my nails done, then went to the mall and did a bit of shopping / browsing. Most of the stores were fairly quiet, but Scheels was an absolute zoo - but a worthwhile zoo to go to, since I wanted thick waterproof gloves with e-tips and I managed to find them (and a few tops on sale). Then I went to Container Store to further my efforts to organize my freezer, and then I picked up Starbucks on the way to meet [censored] at the car dealership. We dropped Dad's truck there, and then [censored] brought me home, which was v. kind of him.
I then spent the rest of the evening doing a variety of tings that were necessary, but perhaps not the most urgent - but everything feels necessary and urgent right now, so I guess it will have to do. And now I need to go to bed - goodnight!
