Life Notes 21 | Winter Whispers

Dec 18, 2020

It was cold outside, and the midday sun was especially dazzling in winter, so I grabbed my coat from the depths of the closet and draped it over my body.

I have started to use the heater in the past few days. The suite I bought from the supermarket last year uses a small heater. The body is small and can be carried anywhere in the house. So the nightly routine is—

Switch the heating to 2, take a shower, turn off the heating when blowing your hair, turn on the heating again, switch to 3 facing the bed, and read before going to bed.

In cold weather, you should do something with a sense of temperature, such as making a pot of warm red dates and wolfberry tea, unpacking a bag of your favorite puffs as a child, and reading good books at low prices found in second-hand bookstores.

A burst of warmth greeted me, who was huddled under the bed, when I read about the protagonist of "The Dogs of Babel" and his ridgeback dog, Loli. At this time, one person and one dog were lying on the same bed, and my two cats also happened to occupy a corner at the end of the bed. , all four small eyes narrowed into a line, ready to fall asleep. The big cat shivered when I stroked her, and began to smooth its fur; while the kitten rolled half-circle from the prone position to assume the baby's lying position, with two small hands (actually front feet) hanging in the air on her chest , eyes tightly closed, the curvature of the mouth looks like a snicker from the side, it's really cute.

I like to create warm living rituals in low temperatures, so winter has become my favorite season.
