Slippers. Socks, two pairs. Thick sweatpants. Undershirt, long-sleeve shirt, sweatshirt. Fleece bathrobe. Blanket. Fingerless gloves (because I still need to type). Hat. Periodic trips to the bathroom that involve lots of jumping to restart blood pumping to frozen extremities. And spending lots of time at school and at the hospital where the cost of heat has already been absorbed by my loans.
Sleeping is a whole other issue. Let's put it this way, sometimes we fight about who gets to have the cats on their bed because of the snuggling warmth they provide.
Stay warm, everyone!

reminds me of late fall 4am crew practice when I would wear as many socks as my shoes would allow, 7 pairs of pants, 5-6 shirts/sweaters, 2 jackets, 2-3 scarves and hats, 2 pairs of gloves inside mittens, and still nearly froze to death. of course, i learned this one much later: hot water bottle = magic!
Ohhh, I still remember you, all bundled up! I don't know how you coxswains did it, I really don't. I used my 15 pound cat as a water bottle at night and it's AMAZING.
