Weather

Today’s weather was very uncomfortable. It was right at freezing and just below freezing while we were out. My entire being was not about it, even though I was excited for the adventure. My toes hurt and my facial skin hurt and my fingers were unhappy. My face was automatically frowning, without my conscious input at all. Wild that people not only live in weather like this for months at a time, but that they do it voluntarily. Totally wild, because I hated it today. If it had been a snow-covered ground, I could get behind it a bit. But it wasn’t. So, I am not.

And no, I don’t want to be in the horrible heat and humidity we have here during the summer. But the trade-offs of people, lifestyle, space, and the rest of the year’s weather and utter lack of horrible cold like today for 362 days of the year make up for it enough right now. And I’m still looking for ways not to be here in the summertimes in the future…
