I knew it was going to inevitably happen, considering I grew up with four true seasons every year for 21 years.\u00a0 And then moving to Georgia where the summers are brutal and the winters are supposedly mild, it was only a matter of time before the tolerance for cooler weather would begin to gradually chip and eat away at me, before I would inevitably look at a particular temperature and go \u201cgod damn it\u2019s cold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019m there now, I think officially.\u00a0 Granted, 37F degrees in October is slightly low on the spectrum of arriving fall weather, but it\u2019s gotten to the point where I have yet to switch my home\u2019s thermostats over to \u201cheat,\u201d and my home\u2019s temperature is dropping into the low 60s, and my bedroom which is over the garage, creeps into the 50s, leading my to wake up cold and blurting expletives when stumbling out of bed in order to hit snooze.<\/span><\/p>\n

The point remains, I\u2019m easily cold now, vastly more than I used to be in the past.\u00a0 Sure, I was more conditioned, not to mention my body\u2019s composition was slightly tubbier back then, so say what you want about the insulating properties of blubber, but now, I\u2019m furrowing my brow when it drops into the low 60s outside, and anything equivalent within my home is becoming \u201ctoo fucking cold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I guess it\u2019s not the end of the world, seeing as how I like wearing hoodies and sweatshirts, and I like a lot of the clothes I have once the weather gets colder.\u00a0 But it\u2019s undoubtedly getting to that time where I should shelve the sandals, and socks will be taking up more space in the laundry.\u00a0 And complaints about cold kneecaps or feet that refuse to get warm, no matter what.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s okay, in spite of my diminished tolerance for the cold, as long as I\u2019m prepared for it, I still prefer it cool outside, rather than worrying about sweating up a storm just trying to walk around outside.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
