Are you kidding me? I think this is some kind of very bad joke. Yesterday I was by the pool!! I still have a sunburn on my lower back to prove it!! We got into JFK an hour or so late last night and were greeted by our friend SLEET. I was wearing yoga pants, a thin t-shirt and flip flops (plus a jean jacket). Why did my mom not teach me to dress properly!? Ridiculously stupid of me. To top this off, the taxi line was about 100 people long (about 1/2 hour).

Sleet + flip flops + long taxi line = BRRR

We finally made it to bed around 2:00am and woke up around 7. I worked from home in the morning today (from the comfort of my couch- hooray!) and tried to stay warm in my fuzzy slippers and favorite tshirt. On the menu for tonight: finding some good takeout for dinner (I'm exhausted, hungry, and our order from Fresh Direct isn't coming until at least 8:00pm), doing a massive amount of laundry and unpacking. My apartment is currently a disaster. Have I mentioned how I do not like messes?

Oh- to top all of this off. I had to go out to Connecticut today. My driver (I took a black car) decided to spend the entire trip (about an hour) talking about his sister and her seemingly crazy healing methods (which he claims work. Think magic energy machines that can tell over the phone what kind of illness you have. Yeah.). He started off the trip by saying, "Is your family healthy?". He dropped me off with these parting words: "I have to tell you, I've been staring at your eyes this whole trip. They are the most beautiful I've ever seen."

Weird compliments from strangers = creepy.
