My friend and I have taken to measuring our days in chocolate bars."It was a three candy day," I tell my friend.
"What is that?" she says.
"You know," I say. "Like, a three dog night is a very cold night during which you need three dogs to keep you warm, a three candy day is a day in which you need three candy bars just to get you through."
"Oh," she says. "I get it," a look of understanding mixed with guilt on her face.
"What's the worst it could get?" she wonders after a few minutes.
"For me," I say, "eating anything with coconut just because it's got chocolate wrapped around it."
"You would do that?" she says.
"I did," I say.
I think its going to be a very long winter.
