Tonight is very cold here in Middle Tennessee.  And, if you are a weight loss surgery patient, you know that our bones ache when it’s cold outside.  I was not really a hot blooded person even as an obese person, my blood pressure and temperature always run low (whether that has anything to do with it or not, I’m not sure).  But, I’ve been wearing my Cuddl Dudz underwear to work:  long leggings and long sleeve shirt.  Yesterday, I actually wore 2 pairs of socks because while the rest of me was “comfortable” (not toasty, just comfy), my feet were like frozen popsicles.

Usually after Tim & I go out to supper, we run errands or do some shopping of some sort.  Lately, however, it has been SO incredibly cold that I opt to just go home!  I sat at the computer most of the evening with my small electric heater running under the desk to keep my toes warm.  So at my usual time:  8:30, I ask if he wants some hot chocolate.  He uses a no sugar added Swiss Miss while I use a Kroger diet brand which is 25 calories per pack.  It’s our routine each evening to run the water pot til the water is boiling, and sit together (he watches tv, I play on the ‘puter)!

I settled on something comletely different this evening.  Ever just get sick of the normal stuff, and you have to drum up some excitement?  That was me, feeling a bit tired, depressed because of this winter weather.  I decided to live it up big time!  I would stray from my normal routine and choose another drink.  I upgraded my diet cocoa for some Gosh That’s Good Mocha.  I even put some whip cream on top, and slurped the piping hot smooth liquid chocolate out of my tea spoon.  Ahh, now that is how you finish a cold night.
