   Canadian winter here has only just begun, and its started with a crisp chill for sure! As a reptilian being in nature, and one who has never been fond of the cold, I am having a difficult time keeping warm in this. No matter how many layers of clothing I pile on, how much food, or hot drinks I down, I just can't seem to escape it. My office at work is an ice box, and that is where the biggest struggle is during this time of year(and well, in the summer with the ac isnt much better tbh). I joke sometimes about installing a heat lamp; of course, that would be ridiculous. Ridiculous but warm! 

   With the cold, we've already gotten a ton of snow here too. Now, unfortunately for me this doesn't agree with any of my kintypes. I'd love to fly south for the winter, or maybe even hibernate, but certainly not be out and about in this weather. Of course, it certainly is pretty! The snow absolutely looks stunning as it covers the earth and trees in a white blanket, especially the way it glistens in the sun. That part is kinda nice, and has that nostalgia about it, growing up where the seasons change. 

   I've always had a joy in winter sports too. I grew up skiing, ice skating, and just enjoying the winter trails on horseback. Its been a while since I've had the free time to partake in these things, having been in school the last winter. I'm hoping this time to at least take up some skating on the canal here. Its a popular thing in the capital here. The whole thing freezes over and everyone skates on it. I'm definitely looking forward to that. 

So, even though it may be freezing, its not all bad. I'll continue trying to find ways to keep warm at work without looking like a complete clothing burrito. Heck, maybe I'll grab some of those hand warmers and just keep those around. Either way, here's hoping to keep warm this winter!
