The Familiar Smell of Routine

Ah, routine. Back to work, back to seeing friends who are refreshingly not so bogged down by homework (yet), back to Biskvitas lunches, back to...rain! Though, it has been devilishly windy here - while walking to the bus stop this morning against the wind, I was actually slowed down by the force of it. I've even had to resort to wearing my 'Mom, I can't put my arms down' coat because my precious pea-coat isn't up to par on cutting out the cold. Function wins over fashion for the moment...mew. And still no snow on the horizon, which I am hoping doesn't mean that for the first time in Lithuanian history (probably) a winter will pass without snow. Last year's winter was horrendous I hear, with temperatures dropping to 30 below (C, not F). Thankfully it has hovered right around 7-9 C, so not unbearable.

Last night I watched a scary movie that capitalized on doors opening when you know you closed them, hearing footsteps when nobody's around and other creepola things instead of thrusting guts at your face which isn't scary, but just gross. Needless to say I was a fraidy cat, with the wind shaking the windows and my creaky wooden floors, and had to sleep with a light on. I'm 22 years old and I have to check my closets and sleep with a night light? Come on! Of course, this has always been the case, unless I had my sister or Ronan or someone to be there with me in case something spooky happened. And of course I won't stop watching such movies, because for some reason, it is almost fun to be scared...Oooogey boooogey!

I received a package today from my mother full of 'essentials' like Kleenex tissues, Scalloped potato mixes, brown sugar, foundation and 3M wall hooks. Weeeeeee! Thanks, Mom!

That's all - just felt like updating a bit!
