Well, ok, not literally. In fact, literally not at all. It is a whopping 78 degrees outside and yet I am freezing. I wish I could say it was the A/C here at work, but I have been cold for the last four days (at work AND at home)... So in order to warm up I slip on my crusty, ol' AXiD sweatshirt from like 1997 (damn I'm old) and only then am I warm enough to stop shaking. People here have suggested low blood pressure or even low blood sugar... but other than feeling cold, I'm fine. So I don't think that's it. But I'm not a doctor or nurse, so hellifiknow.
But there is a quick, sure fire way to warm up - YA PUT ON MORE CLOTHES. Which I've done. So it's all good. Damn, I'm a genius. It's hard being me sometimes.
Let me ask something to the general public (and by all means, don't be afraid to answer) - because I'm trying to see if there are any other peeps out there with little idiosyncrasies similar to mine.
For example - do you have a scent that you just can't stand? And I don't mean because it's smells bad, but because of what it represents? In fact, if you had to judge the scent objectively (is that possible?), you might even admit that it's very pleasant, but because it reminds you of someONE or someTHING you'd rather not remember - you can't stand it.
For me that scent is vanilla. Now under normal circumstances I would say that vanilla has quite a lovely smell to it. But no matter how hard I try, every time I smell it, I am immediately reminded of someone who is no longer in my life... and because of that, I can only take it in small doses. You see a friend of mine recently gave me a large (rather nice) vanilla candle (mmmm, love me some candles) and I like it a lot. It was a very sweet gesture and had it been pretty much any other scent I woulda had that puppy lit faster than you can say the Preamble to the Constitution (ha! My attempt at blog humor.... hold me back!), but because it was vanilla I have been a bit hesitant.
I hope this whole weird neuroses I have for vanilla goes away soon - for more than one reason. hmmm, cause then it'll mean I've moved on for good. Cheers!
