I'm convinced

The cool is here for good. In summer, I have a dress made from t-shirt scraps that I wear over my swimsuit to the pool. In winter, I have two ankle length hoodies - one in fleece and one in sweatshirt fabric, that do the job. This morning, standing outside waiting for the gym to open, I discovered that the t-shirt dress days were over. It's cold enough to need the warmth of the hoodies. So putting the air conditioner into hibernation yesterday was the right move.

It may soon be time to augment or replace the summer bed quilt. I've always loved that some years - a lot of years - it's like someone flips the Summer's Over Switch. One day it's still toofuckinghot and the next day it's OHHH breathe that beautiful cool air.

I was going to whip up another swimsuit today but I think, instead, I'm going to tackle one of the bedroom closets - the big one. It's finally cool enough in the bedroom to work. One of my closets is dedicated to stuff - crafts stuff, hair stuff, creams and lotions, swim stuff overflow, pillows and blankets not in use, stuff that has no other place... the house landfill. It gets out of control easily and it's out of control now.

I need to pull everything out, hopefully, trash or goodwill most of it, and then put the rest back organizedly. So that's today's plan.

And now... I'm goin' in!

Apparently heading back up towards 80 at the end of this week here, but the nights in the mid and upper 40s are going to be delicious! I just have to remember I won't necessarily be able to wear my sandals for bedtime walks even if I've been wearing them all day.

I really felt the switch being flipped in Vancouver last week.  Once day we were sweating our way round the Van Dusen Gardens, the next the temperature plunged as if the summer temperatures had all been a dream.  The cool is a lot easier to travel in, although the rain isn't as much fun.  Can't say I wasn't expecting it,  however.  I  was prepared for rain every day, so any fine hours we do get I'm counting as a bonus.

Perfect way to think about the weather here. Enjoy Vancouver. It's one of my favorite places.

Vancouver is my hometown as well. I so much appreciate the cooler temperatures (though I still have to have a fan on me 24/7 regardless). I don't care if its raining or sunshine (sun today!) since I don't go out much. I like my view regardless.

That is a fabulous cat tree. They obviously love it. A tower of feline entertainment all hours of the day (and night - especially night, no doubt).
