Cold enough for the heat...

...to be turned on.  It was only 63 degrees in the house last night.  We had been trying to avoid turning on the heat, but I have been coming down w/ something and had the chills so bad, we finally gave in.  The rain returned Sunday evening and it was nasty and windy all day Monday.

Today, it looks like rain again...I feel like crap and work is looming.

63 is nice. I keep my house at 58-62 during the winter. :-)

It's been raining these last couple of days and we are going to the coast for a week or so.  Left it a little late in the year but the forecast says it's back up to 80 by the weekend, so who knows.   Packing up the RV like we are going for a year, LOL.

Our kids have chosen to have a weekend away at the end of October in Seattle and I warned them it could be raining then non-stop!

They should be more concerned about the lack and cost of parking, the street shutdowns due to work on the Seawall at the pier and just about everywhere else, and the rise in crime downtown.

Sunshine, I like it cooler at night as well, but whatever it is that has me under the weather left me shivering, even under blankets and wool socks...and when we got up this morning, it was only 42 degrees outside, which is unusual this early in Fall.  We've been told it will be a warmer than normal winter...LOL  They're always wrong. 

I hope it mellows out soon and lets us gradually work into winter.  I have to get my strength back.

If you are not feeling well, you don't want to be cold and shivering.

True that...

I actually slept for about 4 hours...it felt great.  I am still sneezing and have a horrible headache, so I hope it's not an early dose of the flu.  We usually don't get our flu shots at work till November.

There's a lot of that going around takn.  We have been dealing with sinus problems and when there is a radical change in the weather from never ending heat to being chilly it affects the whole system.  Just have to watch out for a sinus infection.

We haven't had our flu shots yet...............I don't think, but I remember being asked in the hospital about my shots when I was having my knee surgery and they gave me a pneumonia shot for sure even though I had a few years to go on that.  I think they are good for ten years.

Got my flu shot on my birthday...glad that is out of the way.
