We each survive in our own way.
Sarah J. Maas


Michigan cold weather survival guide for slightly whiny, cold-temperature hating, delicate constitution to frigid air whimps named Diane, who have a serious case of cabin fever:

Hot coffee. Copious amounts of hot coffee. Warms the insides and keeps hands at comfortable room temperature if cupped lovingly.

Fluffy, down comforters. A key item for fending off chills while watching mind-numbing hours of movies centered around beaches, deserts and the tropics. Which brings me to Netflix. A key ingredient in surviving long bouts of avoiding the outdoors.

Fuzzy slippers. Must be ugly, as for some reason the more hideous they are, the more snug as a bug the toes.

Homemade chicken noodle soup. The essential ward off sub-zero forecasts food. In lieu of this, pizza delivery is perfectly acceptable. Do not open the door when the delivery car pulls in to driveway. Wait until the last possible second and said person has knocked loudly. Have money ready for quickest exchange possible.

Books. A new pile to choose from to lose oneself in. Under the fluffy down comforter, of course and for in-between The Blue Lagoon, Fifty First Dates and Beach Blanket Bingo.

Lastly, the essential in any Michigan deep freeze winter: A minimum half bottle stash of Crown Royal, in case of true emergency if all of the above fails.
