Cold, 'nough said

Tess has a new part-time afterschool job watching an 18-month old little girl named Ava. She starts next week. Hopefully she'll be able to save up some money to replace her phone which was stolen a few weeks back.

The air here is incredibly dry. Even in the summer. Chapstick is used in great quantities. And now that it's winter and the air is dry and cold and we're all surrounded by artificial heat, my skin is itchy because it's so dry. I keep slathering on lotion. Hopefully, that will keep the situation in check.

Did I mention that my boss is sending me to Fairbanks in January? She wants me to get the true Alaskan winter experience. I'll be sure to post about it at that time. Should be the week of the 15th.
