Under the Covers

It is so cold this morning that I feel like I should have gone to bed last night wearing a sweater. When I sleep, I almost always wear a T-shirt and no pants because my legs get ridiculously hot at night. I’m generally a #5 on this chart—but from past comments, I’m guessing a fair number of you are solid #20s.

As I write this, it’s –6 degrees, with a projected high of 4. Thank goodness it’s my work-from-home day. The very first thing I did this morning—after feeding Isabella—was make a hot cup of tea and pull on sweatpants and a hoodie. I may overheat when I sleep, but the moment I get out of bed? I’m instantly frozen.

Winter really does keep us humble. πŸ₯ΆπŸ«–

Possible spoiler ahead…



On a completely different note—has anyone else watched the latest episode of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy? It feels increasingly clear to me that Jay-Den is a gay Klingon. He’s played by Karim DianΓ©, who is unmistakably gay, and the show has already teased that Jay-Den will have a romantic storyline at some point.

I originally assumed that would be Kyle from episode three, but after this week’s episode… I’m not so sure. The scene between Jay-Den and Darem felt very sexually charged. I genuinely thought they were about to kiss.

Was it just me, or did anyone else feel that spark too?

I'll be surely be more attentive as I record it last evening and will see it this evening. I like it more that way as I can skip the adds.
For now I only saw episode 3 as I missed the two first ones.
The actors are nice looking not to say very sexy but the story of the rivalry between both sections is nothing new.
The tall black guy is very attractive but also the "captain" too.
I'll come back to tell you if i felt this gay stuff in the no.4 episode.

#20 winter and summer, even at -40. My vision just got blurred because I think I see peen.

No matter the season I'm no.20 sleeping naked. I cannot stand some clothes while sleeping with the bothering it does changing positions under the covers.
Anyway I have an electric blanket for winter and air conditioning for summer hot weather.

Do you have an electric blanket? I'm considering this purchase. Btw, #3 in winter and #17 in summer.

I have an electric blanket, and I’m not sure who likes it more, me or Isabella. πŸ˜‚

I just saw this episode 4 and to me that scene is in no way a gay one.
It's more about helping his friend to center on his breath in his people way.
For sure he helps him by touching him but nothing more than bros caring.

I’ve watched it a couple of times now, and Darem constantly looks at Jay-Den’s lips. I don’t know, I guess we’ll see how things go throughout the season.
