love, Jillann.

Dear Kazakhstan,

Hi there. It's Me. I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind turning on the heat and hot water. It's getting cold, you know. Last night, I slept in my winter hat and mittens. And while I was pretty cozy, the morning frost on my bedside lamp made me not want to get out of bed. And plus, my neighbor is very old and frail and awfully cute, and I'm sure she's cold too.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that my toes are cold and so was my shower this morning, and that makes for an all-around cold day.

All my love, and thanks for inventing apples.

Me.
