This winter is lasting forever, at least for tonight

Inspired by Brady's Project Enjoy Winter post. (Even though I'm not as blah-winter as she is yet, I am feeling the hazy shade of winter without enough outdoor activities.) This started as a comment for her, but quickly grew annoyed with the Tumblr comment box not letting me see what all I was typing. Guess they want short and sweet. Not me

First, direct response to her post:

• I need to do more candle lighting.
• More light reading.
• Less tv unless I'm actually knitting (which I should do more of).
• I have tea in my office, but should get some top-notch water-based instant hot chocolate there too.

Now then, some other ideas:

• Cook more soup (my pot's heating up right now).
  
• Bake more bread (I'm currently nibbling last night's loaf).
• Eat lots of citrus. It's in season! Makes me happy.
  
• Sit in the chair by the window instead of the sofa far away.
• Curl up in flannel and fleece.
• Pull out the crazy middle school nail polish for a pedicure that no one else will see.
• Do city stuff, inside. Museums. Plays. Concerts.
  
• Sew. I have a half dozen projects written on my mirror to do. Try them!
• Make sure I get out of my apartment and spend time with friends. Every weekend. And at least a few of times during the week. Don't allow myself to become a total hermit. (I think I've been good about this so far, but have to keep it up.)
• Go ice skating. I'm not convinced that I'll make skiing happen, but I should learn to ice skate.

iTunes is on random for my awesome playlist.
Kid you not, started this post with Hazy Shade of Winter
Snowbirds and Townies is playing as I type the end.
