Weather Wuss

The last few days have been heavenly.
I imagine San Diego to be like this weather we have had.
If that is true, those lucky shits in San Diego huh?

It has been perfect.
We here in the DC Metro area don't get many days like we've just had.
Sunny, bright blue skies, low humidity and only in the high 70's.
Add a nice breeze and you can just feel my euphoria jump off the page.
We get an occasional day like that thrown in here and there but just a drop here and there isn't enough. I dream about how wonderful it would be to have months of this weather instead of 2 days.

Honestly I have more energy. And at my age when my energy seems to be depleting faster than fresh water in the Atlantic this is a good thing.
This type of weather makes me love everything and every body.
C'mon that's a feat for a misanthropic person, no?

I love that the windows can be open and it's cool at night.
I love that my electric bill is not over $350 due to air conditioning needing to be on 24/7.

It is all so wonderful.
But it's only June it can't last. 
It was in the 90's last week and we got a small repreive....and for that I say THANK YOU Weather Gods. 

Now this wonderful weather won't last or even think of coming back until October.
So later this week when it's back in the 90's again they say the humidity will be thick and I will again be miserable and I will dream of Monday and Tuesday of this week.

To shovel or sit in air conditioning?....that is the question.
I don't want to choose.  I just want 3 months of each season.
I can even deal with the 3 months of the 3 H's
(hazy hot and humid to those who live without it)
As long as I get 3 months of low humidity, sunny blue skies with 70+ degree weather in there I can do anything.  It makes me invinsible!

Now where can I move where they have all of that?
My bags are packed.

Oh I definitely agree with you. I do not mind the cold as much as I despise the hot HUMID misery of summer. The only time I enjoy summer is if I am at the beach, pool or lake other than that it is a complete inconvenience for me. So when you find that place you are searching for let me know so I too can move there!

I used to live in San Antonio. I couldn't believe how much I missed having all four seasons while down there. But, now that I've moved back to northern Arkansas, I can't believe how much I hate cold weather in winter. I'm just gonna hate it wherever I am I guess. LOL ;-)

It has be horrible here. 104 yesterday with wind and dust. I just drank a gin tonic to keep my sanity.
Happy Wednesday.

I am so jealous!!!! Sounds like absolutely perfect weather. I am already hoping for this insanely hot AZ summer to be over and it hasn't even started... :-)
