Even though it is February,<br />
I feel like we have<br />
been quite lucky that we<br />
haven’t had that much<br />
snow and many days have<br />
been warmer than you<br />
would think they should<br />
be. I’ve always felt that it<br />
was strange that if it is 32<br />
degrees for a while, if it<br />
gets to be 50 degrees, it<br />
feels like a warm spell. If it<br />
is 70 degrees for a while<br />
and drops to 50 degrees,<br />
it feels like a cold snap.<br />
I’ve always been a fan of<br />
warmer weather and would<br />
prefer 80 degrees for most<br />
of the year, than to have<br />
temperatures near freezing<br />
or near zero.<br />
I usually sleep with a comforter<br />
even in the summer<br />
as my wife likes to keep it<br />
cool in the bedroom.<br />
I think back of going to my<br />
grandparents on Sundays<br />
and if it was cooler outside<br />
it was always hot in the living<br />
room. It was a great<br />
excuse to have a nap.<br />
Who ever “they” are,<br />
“they” say that if you stay<br />
cold it is due to poor circulation.<br />
I guess I was<br />
born with it.<br />
But in some cases, it may<br />
just be what I have gotten<br />
used to. When I was<br />
younger, I worked on a<br />
night shift and could sleep<br />
during the day if it was<br />
sweaty hot, and with the<br />
t.v. on and the lights on<br />
and company in the house<br />
talking.<br />
Now I have gotten used to<br />
getting up early and even<br />
if it is a day off I still don’t<br />
spend half a day in bed.<br />
I have even gone to the<br />
beach and slept, something<br />
that I don’t recommend.<br />
If you don’t have<br />
someone to keep an eye<br />
on you and you don’t wake<br />
up, you can get a nasty<br />
burn.<br />
I have had jobs that I’ve<br />
had to spend time outside<br />
even in the cold. A<br />
few years ago it seemed<br />
that it stayed around<br />
zero for about a month<br />
solid and I would be<br />
careful to bundle up in<br />
layers, but I didn’t<br />
seemed to get sick as<br />
much as when it was<br />
cold but when it started<br />
warming up outside is<br />
when I would catch a<br />
nasty cold. It could have<br />
been allergies, but I<br />
can’t remember that everything<br />
had started getting<br />
green again.<br />
That’s something else<br />
that I miss in the cold is<br />
the color and the brightness<br />
of the sun instead<br />
of the gloominess.<br />
