It's cold!

- Hearing the alarm and having to get out of the covers to turn it off. That's cold.

- Putting your feet on a thin, rubber-backed rug that's on top of a wood floor. That's pretty cold.

- Stepping off that rug onto the wood floor. Achingly cold.

- Realizing you slept with the window open. Very cold.

- Taking care of morning business and the window in the bathroom was also open. Exceedingly cold.

- Turning on the shower and forgetting to point the shower head down before you switch the water from the bath faucet to the shower head. Wake-you-up-with-a-blast-of-shock cold.

- Getting out of the shower and realizing that the dang window was still open. Shiveringly cold.

- Getting into clothes you put right under that open window. Stupidly cold.

- Putting in contacts that sat in a cold, cold bathroom overnight. Blindingly cold.

- Getting a young child out of bed, taking her to the couch for a snuggle to help her wake up, then realizing that your lap is now wet. Annoyingly cold.

- (though, not so annoyingly cold as for her, when you have to remove her very warm blanket, pj's, and very wet diaper in the living room which adjoins the kitchen, where a window as also left open all night. That's bracingly cold.)

- Getting the kids ready to go, then running out the door with no shoes. Once again, stupidly cold.

- Getting in the van, turning it on, and finding that you left the AC on from the day before. Chillingly cold.

Time to get out the winter socks which can only be worn until about 11am after which we could go into a whole "it's hot!" post.
