1. Difficult week. And a cold one. Been wearing my winter jacket all week long. Along with the wool hat, and warm furry knitted scarf, and booties. It's been in the 20s, 30s, and 40s. My commute -- requires me to be walking and standing outside for about 15-30 minutes. With about a mile walk each way. So, I feel the cold, even though the trains are heated. The subway isn't so bad nor is Atlantic Avenue Terminal, but Jamaica is outside with a brisk wind, and a fifteen minute wait.

Also, I'm worried that I'm allergic to my coat -- it's a feather down coat, but my mother begs to differ. I'm not rubbing up against it, just wearing to stay warm.
Really don't want to fork over the money to buy a new coat right now.

Debating buying a new iphone for myself for Christmas, which looks like a possible necessity, current one's battery is getting old and can only hold an 88% charge. Also it has limited storage capacity and can no longer be updated. (It's an iphone 6, about five behind the latest version. I'm not into gadgetry. I'm also cheap.)

(I'm going to Hilton Head, SC, but not quite the same. Albeit not as a long a plane flight.)

Okay, what happens if they fall and break? That's going to be a major mess. Or fall and the top comes off? Or maybe a fire hazard? The lights get too close to the whisky...the whisky ignites...the tree blows up?

Yes, this is how my mind works.
