it's cold

the temperature is plummeting, i suddenly notice. guess i
need to upgrade my garment game.

a bit later, that's not enough. i need more layers

later still, i'm wearing an undershirt, a hoodie, a
sleeveless polar fleece vest, a second hoodie, a hat, fuzzy
slippers, just made a cup of tea, and my arms are still a
bit cold

looking at the weather, it warms up a bit for a few days...
but, next sunday will be even colder.

My girl always wants me to wear a scarf, I think
they are just for girls. I don’t and never scarf

i am willing to wear a scarf, if, praytell -- is there a way
for a man to wear one and not look like an inbred twit?

anyways, when you're wearing two hoodies and a polar fleece,
trust me, your neck is pretty good. there's some logistics
involved in ordering all the hoodies and collars that's
functionally equivalent

living in the city, so,
all the concrete and emmissions keep it warm and cosy.
hardly ever freezes and barely ever snows inmidst here
although
it should in this area.
but over the weekend we had a pretty good smog.
havent had that in a whiiiiile. felt like utter shit.
luckily it cleared up eysterday and the stars came out. i
was able to spot orion, auriga, taurus and even found the
twins! lucky!!

actually did not wind up being nearly as cold as they
forecast this sunday, but still quite cold when i got up,
much layering

thursday looks colder than today was forecast to be
next sunday looks colder than anything mentioned thus far

what would your washing policy be for owning seven or eight
hoodies; wearing 2-3 at a time? i have quite a few thots
about this

trust your nose
btw the amount of plastic in your fabrics directly affects
the smelliness. functional sports clothes are best washed
immedeately (or incinerated), most sweaters dont seem to
need special attention for the smell is removed quickly
after washing, consisting mainly of cotton or viscose.
however wollens barely ever need to be washed at all. i
usually wear them for weeks, just letting them air some
times and only wash them when they caught dust or similar
dirt.

trust your nose

i do, but, to be totally honest, probably my least-developed
sense. but, being myself, i am familiar with the range of
ways i can smell. as the years go by it's actually getting
more specific: like, if i wake up in the morning, and it
stinks like cheeseburger hotpockets, that means i am
dehydrated, and/or i sweated a lot last nite because too
many blankets; obviously these two things are interrelated.
however, i haven't had a cheeseburger hotpocket in years.
perhaps they're like that urban legend about lsd, that it
stays in your spine for years and if you flex too hard one
day the bubbles will pop and you'll be tripping again out of
nowhere

anyways, yeah, i do trust my nose, and these things need
regular washing, man. people will feel my hand in winter and
so "oh your hand is so warm" and i am all "aaaugh stahp
you're freezing" so i suspect i am not entirely
thermonormal, run a bit hot. so i'll be freezing and
freezing and then i put on more and more sweatshirt and then
eventually i'm sweating in all my shirts, and it's the same
trying to sleep, freezing or sweating, but if i'm not
dehydrated it more smells stale than cheesy

i've begun showering afternoons/evenings; if i throw myself
into work when i'm just out of bed it takes deep root in my
brain. if i shower and cook breakfast and surf the web i'm
distracted by that clanging around. can't believe how much i
beat myself up for rolling out of bed and logging into work
for so long; it's actually the best way to get work to take
over my brane

but, yes, the hoodies. i sweat. i do weird stretches and
roll around on the floor. so typically, i will wake up, put
on my pajama pants from yesterday, the outer hoodie from
yesterday as inner hoodie, the fleece vest as a middle
layer, then a fresh hoodie as the outer later. and a hat.
and fuzzy slippers with proper rubber grips
