The above-average numbers are doing a number on my mind and body.
- The weather swings have impacted my sleeping. My body had gotten used to brisk overnight temperature, and last night wasn't. I was too warm with the sheet on but too cool without it. I tossed and turned so much I woke up with a stiff neck and a sore lower back.
- It's hard to figure out what to wear. Sunday was one of the normal temperature days. When I left the house in the morning I
wore jeans, a long sleeved shirt, a denim jacket, and a fluffy scarf
around my neck. This morning when I left for a yoga class at the gym I
wore shorts, a tee, and sandals. Later in the day I had to dig through my clothes to find things I thought I was finished with for the year.
- The days are getting shorter, which means the sun is lower in the sky at
this time of year, but my brain associates warm weather with the length
of the day. In the morning the sun should have been much higher in the
sky as I was driving to the gym. At the end of the day it felt like it
was getting dark way too early.
- After lunch Hubby Tony and I took a walk through the neighborhood across the street, where we admired some impressive fall foliage. A brisk wind kept things feeling cooler than they actually were, but I tried to stay in the shade as much as possible because in the sun it was hot! I came home sweaty enough to change my clothes.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 80s again before rain comes through and knocks the temperatures back down to normal. I can't wait.
That's a lot of change. 86 this time of year? wow! We're going to have more rain, maybe 3 more inches later in the week and this weekend. Snow in the mountains. Lots of it. It's early for that. Usually ski resorts feel lucky if they can open by Thanksgiving or just after.
