It's currently 18F/ negative 7C. With the wind chill, it feels more like 5F/negative 15C. The weather wasn't much better during the day. Despite that, we went off to search for our Christmas tree. Chris talked me out of going to a rural farm to pick out the tree. So we copped out and went to the local Mahoney's where they sold pre-cut trees. It wasn't a disappointing experience however, as they do try and recreate the farm look. There were endless rows of trees standing up tied to little poles to simulate the look of trees still rooted into the ground, and there were so many shapes and sizes to choose from. However, we were in danger of frostbite and in a sore mood from an argument earlier this morning so we quickly picked a cheaper and thinner tree than last year's beautiful fir. However, now that it's sitting in our living room, over six feet tall and adorned with lights and ornaments, one can't really tell a difference.
I'm on call tomorrow so this is the end of my weekend. I'm already looking forward to coming home Monday morning and going to sleep.
I've decided that it isn't possible to make up for a sleep deficit with only one good night of sleep. I slept for at least 10 hours last night but was still fatigued all day today and these tired, baggy eyes looked back at me through the mirror. (In fact, I now hate looking in the mirror as all I ever look is horrible these days and I can't figure out why!!) What I'm feeling no doubt is a chronic state of sleep deprivation. I'll be using my upcoming vacation to fully recuperate.
