i want to be clear, though.

i didn't spend the morning complaining that i'm cold.

i spent the morning - since i woke up not long after midnight - physically unable to do much of anything because i was too cold to actually function. i did the things i usually do when i'm cold - dishes in hot water, cooking pasta on the stove, two sweaters and a winter jacket at one point and then three hot showers, but they were fleeting and i just ended up in my blanket after each one.

i don't know what would have happened had i tried to shiver through it. what i know is that i was cold enough that i instinctively didn't do that, and i assume my instincts asserted themselves for good reason.

ok. one, two...go...
