One week

 and I shall bid Massachusetts adios adieu aloha.

It went fast but I shall return.

I hear it'll be colder then. 

Oh.

Great.

My Sad Winter Tale, Part 1

I didn't know that on the weekends, the buses run on the hour.  Getting off the train, I was confused where I was supposed to catch a bus and so I missed the one I wanted.

Would not have been a problem but it was cold cold cold. And the wind was blowing. 

I wanted to cry but was afraid my tears would freeze on my face.

I need boots, my classmates tell me. They're from the area; they know this cold.

Black Friday and Kohl's has boots and boots and boots. And scarfs.

I order boots and boots and a scarf.

Forget to change the shipping address and so they're on their way to New Mexico. 😑
