It's like 15 degrees here. This is insane. How do people live like this?
Complaining bitterly, mostly.
And it's, as meara said, record breaking cold for the PNW. I never would have moved here if this were normal.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I have a problem. My car doors are frozen shut.
The Facebook guy who wanted to see pictures of me after seeing pics of my calves and feet in heels has messaged me to remind me he's waiting.
Do people not realise they're creepy, or do they just not care?
You should ask him that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm scared to engage creepy man. It makes them sticky.

Sticky and creepy is a bad combination.

Oooh, my mom emailed me a whole list of "things she learned growing up in Chicago where it gets cold" and there was something about locks in it. Let me go find it.

Her advice: "Btw, if it really gets that cold, it's possible your car won't start or that the door locks will be frozen and you won't be able to unlock them."
Well that was spectacularly less than helpful.
