Well, I've had my first "too hot" of the season. Uh... out of nowhere. Yep.
I mean, sure, it's Spring... but... no. It's not been.
Jason likes to say "we don't get shoulder seasons anymore" and I'm suddenly realizing I know what he means.
Sort of.
As in, we haven't had much Spring like weather so far this year. We've had a few nice, sunny days, but it's been a bit chilly. Not... cold, but not Spring-like either. And I just kept saying "well, it's still early Spring", right?
Kind of? But not.... really?
So then when we had a couple of nice days here this week, I was sort of suspicious. Because the sunny days we have had haven't been warm warm. They've been "I'll bring a hoodie, and probably not need it" followed by a "oh, I guess I need a jacket, damn" kind of days. So two days ago it was a sunny day, and apparently warm. Jason and I went and had some food and a drink on a patio, but in the shade.
We then spent an hour or so in his backyard, but I wore a hat, drank water, and stayed in the shade most of the time.
And I somehow got heat sick that night.
Like, actual sun stroke kind of sick... from it just being... warm? I have no idea. But then yesterday it was 24... more than double what it's been the last while. Out of nowhere.
I did better, dressed for it, etc etc but what on earth y'all?
I got heat sick I think, honestly, because my body was so shocked by the sudden change from cold-ish to kind of hot.
So yeah, I didn't get a sunburn, which I've done at this time of year before, but I still got unwell from the heat/sun. Le sigh.
And it's apparently going back to rain and "chilly" tomorrow... (today?) so who knows. It may be back to boots and blankets again. But for today at least, I got my sandals on and turned my heater off...
No idea how this Spring/Summer's going to go, that's for sure.
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
