measi's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feeling hot... and not in a good way While my Monday back at work was the usual chaos that follows any holiday/vacation/sick day/etc., it didn't get anywhere near Minarae's. Feel pity for her, please. It started to rain here last night. We saw one big swath of green on the Weather Channel radar, suggesting that last night would not be a good night to sleep with the windows cracked open as we normally do- even in freezing weather. I'm one of those strange people who really does need at least a hint of fresh outdoor air when she sleeps. But since our bed is directly below the window, rain on the face generally doesn't serve the sleep process that well. The windows last night therefore stayed shut. And as a result, I found myself waking up a lot, feeling overly warm from the combination of apartment heat and living on the 3rd floor, and wondering if I was starting hot flashes at age 30 minus 7 days. Apparently I was a very good source of heat last night because Colley was attached to my hip ALL NIGHT. So the sensation of hot flashes complimented by very heavily furred Norwegian Forest Cat were not exactly... pleasant. Yeah, this is a great way to sleep. (grumbles) The rain has now stopped, but the dismal grey sky of New England winter remains. I've heard rumors of rain and snow showers off and on the rest of the week. I'd rather it just do another big dumping of snow and get it over with, but I'll deal. At least it gives me an excuse to not have to wash my car. Too bad it doesn't excuse the fact that I need to clean OUT my car, which is looking very nasty after three weeks of Christmas shopping and two seven hour road trips. ;-P 9:48 a.m. - 04 January 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
