winter jackets

So today I could tell you how having no dryer causes my clothes to dry slightly bigger than if I could put them in a dryer. But I'd rather tell you how thankful I am that I have warm clothes. Mostly my jacket is warm, but my clothes help to keep me warm, too. Last year, I managed to get through the winter in only a fall jacket (with many layers underneath it). This year, I brought my winter jacket from America back with me. It is much warmer, and yet I am wondering how I got through the winter with only a fall jacket. I guess you make due when you're desperate. But this year, I get a warm winter jacket. And it has a hood. It's fantastic. My gloves aren't so helpful, but I am so thankful that I have other stuff that keeps me warm-like a jacket :-)
