Colder outside

My least favorite thing about my apartment is that in the winter the bathroom is very cold. *shivers* The windows in the bathroom are old (unlike in the other rooms, fortunately) and that's very noticeable. We don't have a shower curtain or a slide bar yet either, only a shower hose. At first I thought curtains etc. aren't urgent additions, now I don't have time to organize it and I regret that. I'm very glad I don't need to wash my hair often.

Hockey today! For the first time since before Christmas, because last week I didn't feel up for it. I was a bit worried that I'm out of shape again, which fortunately wasn't that big of a problem. Worse was that at first I forgot about my headband to cover my ears, it was very cold and after ten minutes my ears hurt because they're sensitive. Warm-up doesn't work for ears.
My team won 6-3! (I think. It might have been 6-2 or 7-3, we weren't diligent about keeping count.) It wasn't because our two more experienced players were better than the other team's either, because we still outscored them after our two had left and theirs hadn't. Some nice teamwork and passing and effort in all three zones :) I scored a goal, even! Always a great feeling.

Progress on the thesis is slow :( I'm bad at concentrating.

We found that putting glass block in our bathroom window helped a lot. Of course, our only bathroom window is actually in the middle of the shower enclosure, so before the glass block, we were always at risk of slipping and breaking the window, and the wood frame of the window got pretty darned nasty. Finding waterproof curtains so that people couldn't see in was difficult, too. The window is about four and a half feet off the ground when one's standing in front of our house, so people seeing in was a real concern.

Fortunately people looking in are not a concern. But we need to be able to open the windows, that doesn't work with glass blocks, if I'm thinking of what you mean. We have two old glass windows with a little bit of space in between, and the window frame of the inner one isn't closing properly, I'm hoping maybe we can fix that and that would help. Right now I don't have the energy for it, but before next winter, definitely.
