I am writing this (late) in the first half of April, less than a month after the start of Spring, and we’ve got our first week fully in the 70s every day. Not only that, but there’s chances for thunderstorms severe enough that whatever weather app I look at has some kind of warning for every day and daily forecasts with cocerning things like “Scattered severe thunderstorms” or “destructive winds” or “high likelihood for tornadoes” which is kind of a lot. I had to wear a sweatshirt when I went outside just a week ago and I’m a weirdo who wears shorts and short-sleeve t-shirts in the winter! It was cold enough to warrant wearing warmer clothes for the drive out in the morning or while I waited for my car to heat up in the evenings. Now, we’ve got weather more in line with the first month of Summer than any part of Spring except maybe a few rare (but more and more common as the years progress) occasions toward the end of the season. And all I can really do is plan when to close my windows to capture as much of the cool air as possible, turn on my AC, and flip my ceiling fans to spinning in the summer/cooling direction. And enjoy wearing the new shorts I bought since I finally, after wearing every pair I had to rags, found a new line of shorts that have the same heavy-duty feeling and loose, comfortable fit I prefer. As it turns out, Youngster from Pokemon Red and Blue wasn’t entirely correct. Shorts CAN BE comfortable and easy to wear. Anyway, it’s Summer as hell right now and I’m not about it even if I do have comfortable clothes and working AC in the office for once [which has broken between writing this post and editing it].
