It's Finally Time!

So that title sounds really exciting, but I thought it was worth mentioning something very mundane and kind of entertaining. I stopped wearing long underwear and started wearing sunscreen on the same day. While it’s been spring for a while now, at work we have no heat (a couple of small space heaters for the winter) and it’s a concrete building that just does not warm up quickly, even if it’s warm outside. So because of being inside I wore long underwear through the end of April (with the exception of a quick walk to the store or just being at home). The walk to and from work was sometimes a little toasty, but being warm at work made up for it. But now it’s what I would consider hot. This past weekend was in the 80’s and it’s just spring. Apparently it reaches about 40 degrees (Celsius, of course) here in the height of summer. For those of you who are Celsius challenged, that’s about 115 – 120 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s hot. (For anyone who doesn’t know me well, summer is my least favorite season because of the heat.) And I’ve started applying sunscreen as a part of my daily routine because I was outside this weekend just walking around town and got a little sunburned. And with walking 25 minutes to work each way, it’s definitely needed, at least for now. Maybe by July I’ll be accustomed to the sun and won’t need it. We’ll see. I’m already enough of a conversation piece for the people of town, I’d prefer to not make it worse by looking like a tomato. Stay tuned for before and after (May and September) pictures…
