January spring

New York is in the middle of a couple days of freakishly warm weather. Yesterday was in the low 60s, and my weather widget claims it’s going to get up to 68 today. We’ve got the apartment windows open and I’ve been walking around in a hoodie instead of a giant winter coat, which is lovely but extremely disorienting. When I wake up in the dark and hear the sounds of the East River drifting through the window instead of the steady hum of a heater, my brain is completely fooled into thinking it’s already spring. Just like the confused crocus sprouts I saw peeking out on my way to work this morning.

It was warm (in the low 60s) here in Chicago and very rainy. So rainy and so warm, in fact, that we got a thunderstorm…in January.

“When I wake up in the dark and hear the sounds of the East River drifting through the window…”

See, I thought you meant the crash, boom, gurgle sounds of a whole river coming through your window, thus heralding the realisation of global warming that your post had been building towards. To the- um, what do we do when global warming arrives? Boats?

Your mom has the steady hum of a heater.

After warming up to around 25, we’ve settled back down recently to -4. What a time for the University to eliminate the underground passageway to my department building…

I was quite pleased that the weather was nice while i was there, so I don’t really care if your mind gets all screwed up.
