Me, at 7:45 pm last night: "Welp, it's Sunday evening and I haven't written anything, guess there will be no posts this week!"
Also me at 7:46 pm last night: "Ehhhh, I could stop watching this show for a while and maybe put out a couple of posts, eh?"
So here we are!
Mid way through May (again... somehow?) and one of the most notable things about the last couple of weeks has been the weather.
It's been chilly. Like... radiator on chilly. And rainy apparently, but I'm noticing that less than others.
To be honest, I don't mind the rain and the cold, I'm cringing thinking about the heat, especially after last year, so I'm fine with radiators and hot water bottles in May. But... beyond that, I do have concerns about the glaringly obvious climate and weather system changes we all keep living through. Because while I'm happy to not be roasting, we're also setting records and I have so much anxiety around the continued climate issues and where we seem to be headed and so I'm trying to just allow myself to be ok with cooler days for now and not focus too much on all the awful "what ifs" around weather and climate. Sigh.
I like that I don't have to close my blinds against the heat of the sun. I like that I can be cozy.
I have had a few nights this weekend where I had to throw off blankets and open up windows, so maybe things are warming a bit. And yesterday was super muggy and uncomfortable but yeah, I am trying to enjoy things as they are and I'm trying not to wish away what's here since I don't mind the cooler temps.

We've gone from a miserable spring to 28C last week. Some sort of transition would have been easier on my allergy riddled body...but we can't choose the weather...
Oh dear!
And I do *try* to choose the weather, it just seems to not care about my ideas ;)
Weirdly, yesterday, my apartment heated up to like 28C, which is typically as sign of summer for me.
I just checked my "min/max" on my indoor thermometer and it reached 27.5 at some point recently so maybe yesterday like yours did!?
