Day: October 10, 2007

I’ve been a little (okay, a lot) grumpy about the continuing hot weather we’ve been having. Somehow, mid-90s in October just seems very, very wrong. I was complaining about the heat to a friend, who said she was happy about it, because it meant that she didn’t have to put away her summer clothes yet.

Summer clothes? What the hell are those? Seriously. It’s so cold at work that I couldn’t wear them if I wanted to, so I wear jeans and T-shirts year round and keep a hoodie on the back of my chair for days when I get chilled. Proper layering is key. Proper layering also means that I don’t own an actual coat. I just add another hoodie when it gets truly cold, and gloves, hat, and a scarf if I’m going to be outside for long.

Anyway, I thought it was kind of funny that my friend is complaining about having to get out her winter wardrobe and coat, while I’ve been wearing mine all summer.
