I can’t decide whether the temperature outside is nice or not. When I got up this morning around eleven (after going to bed around 7:30), I headed out for the post office. I decided to walk because it’s not even a mile away from here to there. At first, it felt pretty cool outside. Then as my unexercised corpse plodded along to the square, it felt a lot warmer (rather I felt a lot warmer; I need to take long walks more often) but there was a cool breeze now and again. Then when I got back to the house, it felt cooler outside than inside, probably because outside there was a breeze carrying my sweat away whereas the only breezes in the house are directly under the ceiling fans. So I decided to sit outside with Kitty and crochet. After about ten minutes, I remembered that while there may be a breeze outside in general, specifically, it’s not on our front porch. Our porch is in the lee of the building, leaving it pretty still and stagnant. So I decided to come back in the house where the AC is. Neh, not much cooler in here. The temperatures seemed about the same, actually. So I killed the AC, opened almost all the windows and . . . it feels about the same. Whee. So I’m thinking that the best thing to do would be to move the computer from the couch (our couch has a penchant for retaining heat very well) to the bowl chair thingie in the middle of the room under the ceiling fan. Sure, I’ll have to don a hat or headband to keep the little stray hairs around my forehead and face from driving me crazy since they tickle my face in the breeze of the fan, but that’s no biggie. So here’s to a cooler day making Halloween toys (I’m going to try to come up with a pattern for a bat), organizing my craft stuff, and probably playing the Sims. Maybe when I fix lunch, a cold one will top off the cool factor nicely. 🙂
