1. Who do you call first? [livejournal.com profile] curiousangel.

2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself? Tickets for a Galapagos cruise on a small (15-20 passengers) luxury ship. All the tickets. Then I'd invite people to go with me.

3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else? I would tell [livejournal.com profile] curiousangel to pick out the computer system of his dreams. He's waaaay overdue for an upgrade, poor guy.

4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom? $50,000 to the First Unitarian Church of Baltimore, and $50,000 more in small amounts to various charities - mostly local ones.

5. Do you invest any? If so, how? I would want to buy a house, probably in the neighborhood where I currently live. I'd have to hire a financial advisor to help me invest the rest of it, because I wouldn't know what to do after maxing out allowable contributions to my 401(k) plan and starting Roth IRAs for me and [livejournal.com profile] curiousangel.

The hood on my parka snaps off. It got pulled off a few days ago, and I hadn't gotten around to putting it back on because I mostly wasn't going anywhere that required me to spend any time outside.

Until today.

I've just come back into my office after spending forty full minutes standing on a streetcorner waiting for the bus home. The 5:52 didn't come. The 6:08 didn't come. It's 22 degrees F, with 20 mile an hour winds. My foot is feeling better today, but in no way was it up to walking all the way home.

My fingers are barely working well enough to type. The ones on my small hand are a livid red. So were my cheeks and ears, when I saw them in the bathroom mirror a few minutes ago.

I'm so cold, and angry, and tired.

Michael's coming to get me in the car. Until then, it's important not to cry. But I'm so cold.
