Coldest day of the year so far

[prog]

And I managed to leave my hat on the T the very first day I left the house with it this winter... last week.

No worries; I tend to lose one hat a month, during hat-wearing months. It would be different if I wore my hat every day, like I do with my glasses or my cellphone, enough to incorporate it into my self-extension field. Fooey.

I hate buying hats. I don't know where to get them, and I feel like I'll get the wrong one and look ridiculous. Very few places seem to carry the solid-black, non-patterned "cat burglar" pull-down caps that I favor. (See, I don't even know what they're properly called. I hate buying hats.)

Back when I was required to wear silly clothes to work everyday, my mandatory cap had these ear flaps which folded up inside the cap. One day I discovered how wonderful it was to pull them down, over my ears (and back of head); the gentle teasing I got from coworkers wasn't enough to convince me to stop using them. Now I have a magically warm fleece balaclava, and I look stupider than I did with camoflage ear flaps, but I figure looking ridiculous is a small price to pay.
