ten below

I watched the weather intermittently throughout the day and my data collection indicates that the high was about zero.  It didn’t stay that warm for very long though.  Tomorrow the high is supposed to be 13 degrees.  I’ll be honest with you, Denver doesn’t get this kind of weather very often.  Heck, it was nearly 60 on Saturday!

I’m lucky or I’ve happened to make the right choices in life so far or whatever.  My heat is working.  I have warm smoked gouda macaroni and cheese in my stomach.  I have leisure time to goof around with my iTunes settings, read magazine articles, write blog posts, and so on.

Realizing that I have little to actually complain about, I will give a few examples of how the sub-zero temperatures in Denver today affected me. 

  • My cheeks are permanently red – it looks as if I have a triangle of blush directly below my eye areas. 
  • I have vertical sock impressions on my shins and calves from the knee-high wool socks I wore all day in an attempt to insulate every part of my body.  Unfortunately I don’t have any wool panties, but they do exist! 
  • My body freaked out a bit in warm yoga also.  I think it was calibrated to the super cold temperature and just didn’t know what to do with the extreme temperature change.  I was sweating much more than usual and my heart was pounding.
  • Sweaty from the warm yoga effort, nearly all of my hair froze while waiting for the bus – even with a hat on!
  • Every time I enter or exit somewhere my glasses fogged up, which looks really sexy. 

Here are some of the things I found myself thinking about today, while reminiscing with myself about the past summer:
