Its next level cold here in the Midwest. And I brought back a lovely case of the sniffles from LA. Today is a good day to build a blanket fort, drink tea and just play in my notebooks but alas, duty calls! Hope you are staying warm and saving a little time to make yourself cozy, even if its just another cup of coffee AND a cookie.
