Thanks

We had our Thanksgiving long weekend this weekend, which was lovely (as in I needed the break) and COLD!

It rained for a while and then got beautifully sunny but also the wind had a BITE.

Sunday night I was so cold again I had to close up my windows and grab extra blankets so first thing Monday morning I put my full winter setup on my bed.  Sheet, fuzzy blanket (which I ADORED last year) duvet (still the "summer weight" one, we'll see, I didn't use the other one last year) weighted blanket and smaller fuzzy blanket at the base to pull up as needed.

I also on Monday messaged building management to turn the building's heat up (our heat is "hot water" radiator and they turn it down for summer) and I had my windows half closed Monday too just to try to keep things from cooling too too much.  I sleep much better when things are cool at night, but there's also too cold for sure, so the balance matters and this is the first time this year that I've had to navigate this.

I, of course, don't know if this is a blip (we are expecting rain later this week which usually warms things up?) or if this is the start of winter type weather... we shall see.  I half expect to have to strip things off of my bed again for a few days in the next few weeks but there's no real guarantees either way.

All I know for sure is it was a lovely weekend and I was very happy for the break.
