I'm cold.
I sit at my desk and think I'm cold. Do I get a sweater? No. I'd hate to rearrange and lose my place on the page. Do I turn up the heat? No. (I can't, the new kitchen has no baseboard heaters.) Do I leave my desk and move to a warmer spot? No. Heavens, no. Can't write there. The rain beats against the window air conditioner with pattering droplets. It's been languishing there all winter. It's early spring, now. I sigh. The night-cold air comes through and makes me shiver. Do I care? No. But I'm still cold.
