When's Summer?
It's late May. The days are long like summer, and a summer-like weather pattern of sunny days has set in. But it's only summer-like as temperatures remain cool. Today, for example, the forecast high is only 66° here. WTF?!
Each time I've walked past the swimming pool the past week I've thought how nice it would be to go in for a swim, get out and sit on a lounge chair in the shade, and just spend an afternoon there.... That would be a great way to spend this holiday weekend. Except I can't, unless I want to be cold. I'm ready for it to actually feel like summer.
Update: This same crap happened last year. See my May 25, 2023 journal, "In My Mind It's Summer".
Update 2: When I got back from lunch and a quick grocery trip the heat was running. I turned off the system and just closed the windows instead. It's been 7 weeks since we ran our heater, maybe longer.
