However, I also chose the early afternoon with completely clear skies to be out there. This was a particularly poor choice because, as I have mentioned earlier, I recently buzzed my hair short. Did I wear a hat? Of course not! Sure, I thought about putting one on several times, but I kept getting distracted before I could put those thoughts into action. I don't think that I burned much, but my scalp has a tingly sensation, like after using a particularly strong dandruff shampoo. Add to this the fact that I eschew my normal cargo shorts for jeans so that I don't end up with grass cuttings (or bug bites) all over my legs, and I was feeling the heat today.
As much as I have regretted my decisions in this warm weather, I'm a little worried about our upcoming cool and rainy forecast. We have been in the habit of leaving all of our windows wide open at night, and I think that we might soon be in for a rather chilly morning. I also believe that I have become more accustomed to the warmer temperatures and might have some issues adjusting.
I'm just glad that I only have to adjust from the high seventies. Some of the temperature that I've been hearing from the Lower 48 are just scary!
