I’m a bit worried… this is going to be a longggg winter 🥶 Love the comic!
I don’t think everyone needs to be sober but I would really encourage anyone to see just how pervasive alcohol use/abuse is in pop culture. Even this lil comic has two instances of it. There is so much more to miss and so many more ways to cope than with alcohol.
Thanks for pointing this out!
Right! When you start looking, you see it everywhere around us. I wish it wasn’t so.
But seriously darling WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT
SO MANY DAYS OF PEOPLE.

“what are we going to do when it gets cold out” just hits different…we’re in for a long winter y’all.
Outside, no matter what! It is going to be rough for those of us up north. In preparation, I just bought everyone in my family a new, truly waterproof raincoat, and a heavy down jacket for my daughter. I spent more money than I usually would but I know we are going to need to be outside everyday seeing friends. Thankfully my kids school already had the “we always go outside” motto so nothing new for my kids. (not that they will be “in” school, just they are used to cold and wet recess) It’s me that won’t want to meet a friend for a walk in 30 degrees and sleet!
I haven’t been alone in 171 days. I just subbed kids for parents.
I’m planning (but really, imagining), a trip with my best friend to Greece :-)
That sounds amazing. I find myself following countries on Instagram these days, imagining what the future might hold for my dream of being location independent – Scotland, Iceland, England, France, Ireland, Norway…nothing is off limits.
In order to grow our small business, Cup of Jo earns revenue in a few different ways. We publish several sponsored posts each month, which are always labeled at the top. We also sometimes earn an affiliate commission on the sales of products we link to. We feature only items we genuinely love and want to share, and this is an arrangement between the retailer and Cup of Jo (readers never pay more for products). These are the ways we support Cup of Jo, and allow us to run the site and engage with this community we truly love. Thank you for reading!
