While I like the idea of fall, the breeze through the leaves and all, in reality it just gets me closer to winter, which I despise.
I don't like that it gets dark so early. I don’t like that it’s cold. I don’t like the fact that while we don’t usually have snow where I live, we have long periods of gloom in the winter. Drizzle and mist and dark and gray and 38 degrees kind of gloom. It depresses me and kind of stops me in my tracks. I just count the days till it’s spring again.
Mostly it’s because I’m so cold all winter. Unnaturally cold. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and have been on Synthroid for 25 years. My levels are all checking out fine, but ever since I lost a significant amount of weight a few years back, I’m just so cold in the winter. Cold to the point where it affects plans that I make. I just stay cold to the bone all the time. If I go to the movies, I make sure I’m wearing heavy socks, clogs, a jacket and I take another jacket to put over my legs and I’ll still cold. Sometimes I’ll even wear gloves. It’s ridiculous.
Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?
