my winter quest


this winter i've dedicated some time (and let's face it, money) to getting and keeping myself warm. recently, i realized that my circulatory system is a bit of a slacker. clearly, not everyone has to wear longjohns from november to march. and i'm still cold.
to up the ante, i've been trying to wear a wool layer against the skin. or sometimes silk, which has been a little harder to acquire second-hand. i'm also a little curious about fleece as a top layer. but when i couldn't find thick fleece pants, i bought some polartec 300 material, the warmest fleece i could find, from an outdoor fabric store in seattle. yesterday, i made them into pants and passed out at 9pm probably from overheating.
