When I heard on the radio that electricity was out in places, I was secretly hoping for screwed up subways as an excuse to stay in bed. Then I remembered that mac would still have to go to school (half a block away, never an excuse to not make it) and I gave in to the horrors of waking up.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

The one upside of the power being out was going to be the lack of any excuse to stay up late -- and indeed, I got to bed around 8:45. Unfortunately, the combination of house-shaking wind and worry about the power loss, plus the creeping cold, meant I didn't get much sleep. I must have fallen asleep at some point, because I remember being woken up by the wind stopping. And at 5:30 I got out of bed to investigate the glow from the living room -- turned out it got cold enough in there to trigger the fire.
Man, I'm tired.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
No, you can't have the admin password.
Because you're not an admin, and I don't want you messing around in there.
No, the admin password is MINE. Not yours. Mine. Because you could do bad things with it, and I don't trust any of you people not to pass it around to the rest of the company.
NO. I will find you something else, okay? NO PASSWORD FOR YOU.

And I started my day with a trip to the dentist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How about more windy and less than 18F? 'Cause that's what we got going on up here right now. I was actually afraid my car wouldn't start (it did, good girl).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It was 11° this morning in NYC.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dear Girl Passing Outside My Office Window,
If it's cold enough for Uggs and what appear to be matching Ugg-mittens, why the hot pants? Why?

It was 22 on my drive to work this morning, and the car thermometer is usually a few degrees warm.
