Still Chilly After All These Tears

The cold snap has continued to freeze the socks off south-east Australia. I again braved a 3-4 degree morning as I climbed out of bed a little after 5, and stumbled into the kitchen to put the kettle on. I shivered as I prayed and read the bible, sipping a beautiful mug of steaming hot tea. When I slipped into my running shorts, I felt the hair on my leg stand. I was very thankful I have an indoor thread mill to run on, and hoped the gym will fire up the heater nicely. It was only 6am but the gym was already abuzz with members dashing in out of the cold. Again, even after a good sweaty work out, it was still a little chilly. I had turned on the heater at home just before I left however and when I got home, it had been on for over 1.5 hours so the home was quite nicely warm. I returned just in time to catch Theresa as she was just leaving for work and she was almost shivering but thankfully there were no tears. When Elysia and I left home at 8.30am it was still only 5 degrees. She had decided against the extra jumper even after I insisted on it. “I should have demanded it,” I thought as I walked from my car to the office. It was still chilly. Anyway I hope the cold would take a break tomorrow.
