But guess what, Ottawa, I am not smiling any more! Cut this out, right now! I need some crocuses! I need one blade of new grass. I need some god damn warmth.

I stomped the snow off my boots before going inside. I made cozy dinners. I gathered flashlights and chargers when we thought we’d lose power. I cancelled plans because of weather. I have done winter, Ottawa and I did it with a smile.

A friend went to France last year and bought me a tube of drugstore retinol; every now and then I throw some of that on. I can honestly say my skin is better with my “don’t give a shit” regimen than my obsessive and expensive 10 steps and I have more time for the important stuff — crossword puzzles.
