Day One

First day and I have already been tempted. I biked to work this morning and was surprised by how cold it has gotten in the last little while. On top of that, I didn't give myself a lot of time to get downtown, which meant I had to rush, which meant I was breathing heavily, which means my lungs quickly filled with frigid air, all the better to burn my lungs with. It's always a bit of a system shock to breath cold air, but to gulp it down hungrily as your legs spin wildly hoping to beat the next god-damned stop light? It kinda takes a lot out of you.

So- I get to work and am cold. Normally there is a quick solution to this: Grab some tea! Now, while I have given myself tea as a possible option under certain circumstances, it seems kind of weak to break down on my first day, so I tell myself "NO!". There will be no tea today. For as long as I can prevent it, actually. And so, I freeze. Brr.
