I slept in what?

Friday June 1, 4:30pm
I, Debra Skalsky, of somewhat sound mind and body, admit that I did shut my bedroom window for the first time since my arrival, and will continue henceforth and furthermore to do so as long as it's this crazy chilly....and sometimes cold! Yes, I admit it, I slept in.....sweatshirt, sweatpants, and socks. And I normally like the cold and will take the cold over hot any day. I think it's the dampness that makes the difference.

Here's my Latino twist on the tale told by the "old generation"...I walked to school, over uneven rock laden roads, up hill, both ways, in the pouring rain. :)

Yesterday it rained from sun up until past bedtime. But most days it's just gray, dreary, and starts to rain in the afternoon and/or evening. One of the strange things about this weather is that there's an obvious temperature drop just as the rain starts, and then a couple of hours after the rain stops, it becomes warmer than it's been all day. For example, I'm sitting on a porch type of place right now...suddenly I noticed that it got quite cool, so I got up to pull my jacket out of my backpack, and then noticed that indeed it had just started to rain. I just checked accuweather.com and it says that's it's 64 degrees right now, but feels like 54 degrees...tonight it will be 57 but feel like 60 degrees. Strange! My windows are already shut! And I hear that home, Virginia, is quite warm!
