settling in, but cold

The work I'm doing at the new place is congenial: it satisfies my desire
to get things right, and in things that seem as though they
actually mean something. Not world-saving, perhaps, but every little bit
helps, in the same way as doing a couple of sets of crunches is useful.

I just wish the place were warmer. I was quite chilly by the end of
the day yesterday, despite having kept my cardigan on and stayed in all
day (I brought a sandwich). Today I kept my long johns on as well, but
went out at lunchtime (we'd run out of sandwich bread). It's an easy
block and a half to the 6 train, so I had lunch in Chinatown rather than
try a pho place between here and the D train that got mixed reviews on
the web. (The deciding factor was the one that said they use cilantro,
which I'm mostly neutral about, in place of basil, which I like a lot.)

This feels like easing back into fulltime work: three days this week,
four next, then five the week after.
