Winter in Chicago.

There's all this stuff I'd forgotten about winter. The fact that it's dry, for one thing. Multiple applications of moisturizer and hand lotion, lip balm, the prickling skin-itching under all my clothes. Static. The blankets on this guest bed crackled with static, my hair stands straight up from my head when I try to brush it, my clothes cling to themselves. I've remembered a few things--not to lick my lips even if they're dry, because that only makes it worse. How to dampen the hairbrush just a little so that my hair stays still.

And then there's the whole issue of dealing with the outdoors. I've borrowed hats and scarves and mittens from my lovely hostess, but it's hardly enough. I'm still cold. I should be doing this dissertation on the history of places that are warm. What was I thinking?

Yes, yes, I too am finding myself reminded HOW MUCH WINTER SUCKS this week. Coming from 75 to 16 was a rude shock. And my skin had just recovered from the cracking and chapping when we returned and so is demanding that I buy some kind of moonsuit for it until spring. Sigh.

Chicago seems quite balmy to me right now! Less lotion and chapstick as of late. Still drinking lots of water, though.

Yeah, I can tell it's warmer today than it was yesterday because I'm not afraid to go thirty feet outdoors without my hat. And some of the ice melted. It's still barbaric.

Krystyn! I meant to try and see you when I was in Chicago, but I've (fairly rapidly, I'll admit) decamped for Madison. It's not any warmer here, but I had a date with a three-year-old.

I am not one of those who think that the people are never in the wrong. They have been so, frequently and outrageously, both in other countries and in this. But I do say, that in all disputes between them and their rulers, the presumption is at least upon a par in favour of the people.

There can be no other truth to take off from than this: I think, therefore, I exist. There we have the absolute truth of consciousness becoming aware of itself.
