January

January is the coldest month in Delhi. Day time temperatures are generally in the 50s, but for a house with marble floors and no heat, the inside temperature is in the 40s. Brrr...My favorite hobbies during January are taking burning hot showers until the bathroom is full of enough steam that it looks like Delhi fog on a January morning and standing in front of my hair dryer (on maximum heat) for as long as time will allow...

When I'm not taking hot showers or blowing heat onto my body, you can find me in smartwool socks, sweatpants, my Carolina sweatshirt and my "indoor hat" (my mom and I just named it that because it's cute and warm and comfy inside, but it doesn't cover my ears entirely, so it's not suitable for the outdoors) sitting right next to one of our space heaters. This is what I typically look like during the month of January:

Note about space heaters: They must be plugged into specific outlets - the outlets that can support our air conditioning units - otherwise, all fuses in the same room are blown out.

Thanks for reading. I know it's been a long time since I've blogged. I'm sorry, blog. New Year's resolution: more blogging.
