cool

[low_delta]

Last weekend, right on cue, it turned cooler. Last week, it barely got below 70°, and this week it barely got above 65°. I can't complain, since it's still fairly nice out, but I really enjoyed the warmth. This is sweatshirt weather. The house is below 70 in the morning, and I'm having trouble getting up in the morning again. It's cool, so I don't feel like waking up, and then when I do wake up, I still don't feel like getting out of bed. It's going to be a struggle for the next nine months.

getting out of bed

Thank you for writing what I'm thinking. I do love being all warm under the comforter, and I like the pretty weather, but can't forget what this all means. Others tell me how they love this weather and, gotta admit, I like being hot and sweaty.

blah blah blah.

I never really get warm. I can take a ten-minute shower, as hot as I can stand it, and as soon as I start to dry off, I'm cooling down.

Hot and sweaty is just fine with me. I just drink more water.

I like being able to walk around in little clothing. The mid seventies is too cool for that.

Do you have down comforters? We have one, and that helps in warming up.

mda stays pretty cool all the time, although not to the point where he's uncomfortable. In the winter, I have to really work not to stick my icy-cold feet under his legs.

The problem is that I cool down when I'm inactive. Like when I sit in front of my computer for a couple of hours. I could be wearing my winter coat, and still not be warm. Or curled on the couch under a blanket, while reading - I'll never warm up. So when I go to bed under a pile of blankets, and lie still for eight hours, when I wake up I'm totally chilled. And it's no better outside of the bed.

Conversely, I warm up pretty well when I exercise. Unfortunately, there's no real way to keep exercising for the entire evening.

Sorry about the chilliness. On the good side, I bet you'll live to be 102. I don't know why, it just seems like that would happen.

Coolness energizes me. It's the heat I hate with all my being.
We're both in the wrong climates.

Warmth energizes me. Coolness makes me take shelter.

Like I said...we're both in the wrong climates.

I wonder how much I'd miss winter. I don't like the feeling of never being warm, but I enjoy snow. I think I'd have to be somewhere in between, where they still have autumn and winter, but they're later and shorter than here. Like Tennessee.

TN has one of the WORST, most intolerable summers I've ever experienced. We have a really good friend in Nashville and have visited often. The humidity is so horrible there that it leave a person gasping for breath and it gets hot, really hot to combine with that water-logged air.

Oh, our friend is a native Wisconsinite and she has never, in almost 30 years there, gotten used to it. (And she doesn't like the cold either).

And they don't have much winter to speak of...if it snows there, life stops. Like in Atlanta. For half an inch.

I was in Alabama a couple of autumns ago, and it was great. Cool, with the leaves turning. Of course they said autumn was rarely that pretty. Anyway, that's why I suggested Tennessee. Maybe southern Indiana? My dad hated their winters. Cold and wet, but not cold enough to have real snow.

I think you're going to get hot humid summers everywhere except the mountains and the west coast.

you might be surprised. We could get a return of warmth, although please Whomever no more 90-95 degree temps. I love the cool mornings, and the cool evenings. The Official First Day of Fall is September 22nd, there's still time.

I know that last year, November was warmer than September.

This is exactly the weather I love.
Windows open and the cats in a snuggle ball trying to warm up.

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

Windows open? It's only sixty degrees out there! I don't want to wear a jacket around the house. Which is how I feel all winter.

[roadskoller.livejournal.com]

The thermostat says it's 70 degrees in here....with the windows open.
But the kittie's paws are cold.

Fall and spring are my favorite seasons. I guess I must endure summer and winter to have those...

You live too far north for your personal thermometer!
