It looks like we may finally have our first freeze tonight here in balmy King George. We have had a couple of light frosts but not a freeze as of yet.

All I know is that I am cold and getting colder.
But I'm also somewhat relieved, as we do need a freeze. The climate cycle is totally effed up and it will only get worse from here.

Send the bugs to hibernation, damnit!
I have been sleeping with the ceiling fan on high still, because the sun is so strong. But it’s dark now when I arise and I cannot turn that fan off quick enough this week. 🤣🤣🤣

As I was drifting off to sleep this mor, so snuggly warm under my heated blanket, I remembered my Comfy - a blanket with a hood a sleeves that I received for my birthday earlier this year. I pulled it out this evening and wow! It makes a huge difference! This will be the coldest night so far. I’m ready!

Wow. It was much warmer this morning. I didn’t think my feet would ever warm up yesterday morning - even with the electric blanket on high. Ahhh. I made it through the deep freeze without heat!

I'm hoping we might get some outdoor time on Thursday. That's where half the food will be cooking so hanging out on the patio and chillin in between would be nice. Mid 50s works just fine for me as long as there aint no stiff breezees.

Wow! It’s a balmy 58 degrees in here today. I may be able to ditch the hat!
I was nearly sunburned today. Without leaves, that sun broils a third of my bed at a certain time of day. No wonder I’ve felt so lousy.

And Friday and yesterday were equally as nice - I'll settle for a rainy Sunday to look up pot roast recipies.

We hit 60 today downstairs! I nearly turned the AC on upstairs this morning. It was nearing 70. I ended up just kicking off the blanket.

We have reached the season of medium setting on my ceiling fan. I had to turn it down from high on Wednesday because I just couldn’t get warm, even with my heated blanket. Reynaud’s kicks in and my nose and ears suffer. I used to be able to sleep with my head under the covers, but as breathing has become more difficult I cannot do that anymore. So, I will have less wind. 🤣🤣

It was 48 degrees in my bedroom this morning! And this was at 1030, so it was colder than that at dawn. Needless to say, the fan remained on low when I got in bed. Got up at 1330 to pee and it had warmed up 8 degrees. So fan went back on high as I got into bed, as the sun was heading for a direct shot at the bed. It’s powerful!

Was 5 in NJ with heavy winds on Friday. Friend unfortunately lost her new car, but as she noted it can be replaced, and it took the brunt of the tree, so the house was fine.
Just glad I don't live in Buffalo - holy Christ is it bad up there.

So glad global warming isn't real....

They say this past weekend’s weather was caused by the drastic warming in the Arctic.

Looks like I won’t get snow for my birthday. I’m not upset at all, though. The memories of freezing and sitting in the dark are still strong!

I came so close to turning the AC on upstairs on Friday. Most likely I will today. I hate sweating. And I hate a damp pillow even more! I can’t blame it on the weather, though. This stripping down to cool off every hour or so is exhausting.

No need for AC today, thanks to the rain! The ceiling fan was all that was needed. Still sweating. I stepped out on the porch this eve to fetch the mail and it was icky humid warm. Yucky yucky.

Ugh to sweat. I've often dreamed of having enough money for a sleep number cooling bed. It has a pad with adjustable temp controls. When you're cold, it heats up, but when you're warm, it can work like a chilling blanket. What's not to love?

I shaved my head again. My hair wasn’t bugging me like it was in August. As I’ve said before, I sweat primarily from my head. After these constant sweat sessions, having soaking hair chills me. Since my hair is thin, it doesn’t take long to dry, but it’s just the constant hot/cold scenario that is driving me even more insane than I already am. AC went on Monday morning. When I got upstairs, the thermostat read 66. At about 1030, I knew that it would be in the 70s when the sun hit the front windows.

I honestly think about shaving my head in the summer for the same reason - sweaty hair feels awful, and when you go inside into AC, it's freezing.

Absolutely. I cool down much quicker now.
And it looks like I’ll finally have glaucoma drops by the weekend. CVS couldn’t get Dr. Church to authorize a refill so I had to wait until this morning to call and take care of it. They had been trying since November but I still had a full bottle so I wasn’t too worried (I’m great at procrastinating!). What’s up with that? I sent them a note over the weekend.

Is this weather stirring up allergies for anyone else? For the past 24 hours I’ve been sneezing (and blowing my nose) like crazy! At least I’m almost done with The Who Gives A Crap tissues. I miss my Puffs Plus! The other tissues are fine - they just aren’t as gentle on my nose.

Holy shit did my room feel like a refrigerator when I opened the door to enter this morning! I skipped checking the thermostat and hobbled over to turn OFF the ceiling fan! (I turned it back on when I got in bed but ended up turning it down to low. I think my heated blanket is just about done. Only a few spots are still heated now. )
