reset
The year has been mostly mild and lovely up to now, but now the hot days are upon us. I'm very grateful for the a.c., even if my thermostat got reset in a scary way last week. Ze spouse was up in TN on his hiking trip with his brother. After weeks of being very comfortable at 65 degrees, I suddenly couldn't get to sleep for hours, because, even under the covers, my feet never warmed up. I was so cold, it finally occurred to me to get up & put on some clothes. My temperature wasn't even 96. I'm usually 98.4. Scary! I had hot cider, made a wrap, put on full sweats, and went to bed. Now you know I'm as hot-natured as Granny ever was, so sleeping in sweats under 2 layers of covers isn't like me at all. I did finally get warm, though, and was able to sleep. By the next day, my temperature was back to normal. Lately, instead of feeling stifled at 70, it feels comfortable. What an odd experience! We think it might've been borderline hypothermia.
So I've been trying to get our walks in earlier in the morning, before it's hot. The cat's gotten "helpful" with that, jumping up on the bed by 6:30 most days. The temperature's not that bad, especially in the woods, but it's that still, dead air, with not even a hint of a breeze. But I do need to get back into the walks; they do help keep the a1c from going so high. I suspect avoiding ice cream might help with that, too. ;)
