to be fair, though, it isn't the weather that's frightful, but the pollen count. According to the weather site - which is where I find the local information - it is rated today as 'HIGH'. I must admit that I am surprised; I had to take an antihistimine immediately upon getting up this morning, which I thought bespoke a day with a rating of 'VERY ( Read more... )

After all that hype, sturm and drang, Janus dropped but 2 inches on us. Don't know what folks east and south of us got, they were supposed to be hit worse. Took M 75 min to get home last night - almost twice as long as his usual commute, but that was due to traffic, everyone rushing to beat the storm, resulting in no one rushing anywhere ( Read more... )

Going in for the head librarian, means I open the library at 7:15 (90 min from now). And ShadowCat just inserted her claws deep into the palm of my left hand with no warning. She hasn't been outside the past few days - her choice, but I think she's getting cabin fever. I'll throw her out onto the porch in a short while (she's been sent to her ( Read more... )

It looks to be a lovely day today - warm, sunny, no chance of rain. A perfect day to hang up laundry ... darn it! If it were dank, cold & overcast, I could decide to wait another day in hopes of better drying conditions, abandon hearth and home and head on to Natick to visit the book and craft stores. But ... can't waste these conditions - this ( Read more... )

Weather today - sunny (there's a moon showing on the page atm, which amuses me), high of 60F (that's about 16C for most of the English speaking world), no chance of rain. A perfect day for a Field Day at the school (except that it'll be held inside the gym anyway) and a perfect day for me to ride my bike again ( Read more... )

After the warm weather last week, this morning is an unpleasant surprise. Last Thursday's high was far too warm (80's), last night's low was far too cold (10's). In addition, I did not sleep well last night. I finally got around to turning the mattresses (spring equinox, turn over side to side) and while I was about it, I switched back to the ( Read more... )

Ever since I hit the Change, I find I have less tolerance for being overly warm; so I dress in layers. When I am going anywhere with my husband driving, I under-dress for the season because I know that he will want the car warmer than I do. This I did today, wearing a sweater instead of a cape or coat. I felt quite comfortable. But when he ( Read more... )

Yesterday was so hot, our router broiled (using an older back-up today. I woke up this morning to the sound of distant thunder and a glorious storm just passed overhead. I had hoped that the storm signaled the presence of a cold front since it is marvelously cool out on the porch now. Unfortunately ( Read more... )

95% humidity!! Who knew that 68F could feel so miserable. I'll have to put the a/c on for M's teleconference at 8:30, or he's going to melt into a greasy little puddle of goo during it! Actually, I may go ahead and melt into one my own self.
