52/364: Odds and Ends

[rejectomorph]

Feeling like a complete splugdwungle. Splugdwungle is a new coinage, and I haven't yet decided on a precise meaning for it, but it's definitely not going to be anything pleasant. The mild days we've been getting are bringing me some not entirely unexpected discomfort. I'm waking up and shoving the blankets off of me, because I get too hot. I'm saving furnace money, but I'm not sure it's worth it. I'm drinking a lot of chilled water, and have to pee too often. If it isn't one thing it's another. I'm too old for this shit, and it's about to get worse. By Friday the 13th the forecast is showing a whole string of days with highs in the eighties. When it tops eighty before the middle of March, you know bad times are coming. One small blessing might arrive Wednesday though. The high is to be 62, and there's a 61% chance of light rain. This could be the last cool day of the season, and the last rain. I should plan a little farewell party. Goodbye, pleasant days. It's a shame you're ending so soon.
