So, this past weekend I had to use my AC. It was in the 90s and I felt as though I was reliving July and August at their worst. Wednesday changed all of that. Now it is in the 50s! Yesterday I biked to work so I didn't think about wearing a coat during the day. (I have warm biking clothing!) But today I took the bus and nearly froze waiting at the bus stop. I tore apart my closet looking for the box that had my winter stuff. However, I still forgot to grab mittens. Weather is not suppose to behave like this. People like me need gradual descents into the despairing coldness of winter. We need moments where we are toasty in our warm sweaters as the sunlight glints through the golden fall leaves. These horrid, cold gushing winds occasionally peppered with icy cold rain are much more readily accepted later in the actual winter season. I know, I know. I live in Chicago. I am prepared for the awful coldness that is our winters - when it is actually winter!
On a side note: I was riding home in those horrid cold rain splattered winds last night when I got ANOTHER flat. I was too far from home to walk, so I took the bus. I am horribly disappointed in my new bike wheels. My bike shop boys will be getting another visit from me today after work. I am not really happy with the whole situation, but I will try to make the best of it. At least my bike shop boys are really nice and really, really helpful.
