Winter is Here — Just for Today
So, the weather where I am currently is 29 bone chilling degrees with a “potential” high temperature of possibly 32 degrees later today. Of course the sun is out as well which always adds to the rather disorientation like feeling of “Oh, but the sun is shining, it MUST be warmer outside!”
Well — no, not really. My lovely flowers are sitting on the edge of my kitchen sink where I have four large windows and I’m hoping that they will at least receive a wee bit of sunlight today, maybe? Later this week, the temperatures are expected to “warm up” into the mid 50’s before dropping back down yet again. I know that this is all to be expected for this time of year but still, is it just me or does anyone else struggle with knowing what to wear from day to day? It’s an inconsequential thing in the grand scheme of things and yet, I find it immensely frustrating and yes, I am also very much aware that it is “first world problem” type stuff. I suppose that’s part of it really — I often feel guilty at times, even given everything I am trying to do right now in my own personal life: prepare for an upcoming move in the New Year to the UK, fill out considerable forms and paperwork for immigration and visa, continue to empty out my apartment, but also not TOO quickly lest I end up sitting on my floor, feeling like an orphan from a Dickens novel and burning my remaining pieces of furniture for fuel ;)
