Eloise and I shower after the sun has completely risen, checking the forecast and preparing for a deceptively cold day. With the sun shining it looks like it should be warm but it is -30 degrees Celsius with a windchill that makes it feel like it is -42 degrees Celsius. Eloise and I agree that we will spend most of the day hunkering down at the cabin; I turn the furnace up a few degrees in preparation. I informed her before we got out of bed that we have to buy groceries in the town. She kissed me and said she was excited for the adventure.
We wash each other in the shower, which seems to be our ritual, and Eloise blow-dries her hair afterwards but doesn't bother putting on makeup. I wait for her in the living room. She apologizes for the delay and says that she doesn't want her
