Chris called from his parents house a little after midnight. I’m surprised he was back at their home. Usually our friends parties go on and on well into the early morning hours.
He was standing outside using the cellphone when he called because he didn’t want to wake his parents while he talked. He was freezing. I happened to look at the weather widget on my computer and it was only 8 Celsius (46.4 F)! Now, as I write this at 1:30 am it’s dropped almost three degrees and it’s 5 Celsius (41 F)! That’s darn cold! If it keeps getting this cold at night I’m going to have to bring in my tropical plants!
I think Chris was shivering while he talked to me, either that or he was slurring from the drinks that he’d had … but I think it was shivers. Well … hopefully it was more shivers than slur.
Wow, if it’s getting cold this fast this year maybe we should plan a trip to a warm area this winter? Maybe get an Orlando rental home for a week? Oh yeah I could get into that!
Jim and his brothers went camping. I’m glad I’m home near the furnace. (I covered my plants last night.)
Oh my gosh camping??? They must be freezing! If I remember right you’re in the Chicago area aren’t you? I guess it’s cool all around the great lakes.
I haven’t turned our furnace on yet. I kept the doors and windows shut during the day and the house is still a comfortable temperature, but I am thinking of turning the power back on, on the furnace and setting it to a low number and if the house cools to that temp then it can come on if it needs too. It just seems too early to have to have the furnace on doesn’t it?
Looks like us girls are home alone tonight huh? My husbands out of town too.
Hi Trish,
I’m in Chicago and yesterday morning (and evening) it was like late November around here!! Freezing!! Now it’s at least 75 and warm!! I’m ready for the cooler weather.
Tricia…. I’m sorry… I just realized I spelled your name wrong. I hate when people do that and here I am doing that!!
