I'm so cold....and....

it isn't even winter yet! It's only OCTOBER!!

My little corner M-F is literally in a corner, and I have a window off to the side.... the window is not the problem.... the problem is the two air vents directly above me. I am freezing. And I have been since I started here. Hence the sweater that came in with me on day 2. It stays at the office.

Today I have a jacket on. I'm still freezing. Yesterday I wore a blouse, a shrug, AND a sweater on top of that. I am pretty sure they won't turn the air up to a higher temperature just for me. No sense in complaining. I did get up and take a little walk outside a bit ago, hoping to warm up.

But the weather is not cooperating today.... it's cloudy out and rain (seriously, they have forecast rain - in Phoenix/Mesa) is on the agenda. So it's probably in the low 70's - it was 72 when I came in this morning. I took a little walk, but didn't warm up much. So I came back up and fixed a cup of hot green tea.

It's times like this I even pray God will give me a 'hot flash' - although my hot flashes were never that bad - I've seen women really sweat during one - and it cracks me up. I may get a little warm, but it never lasts more than 30 seconds so it's no big deal to me. I can take a sweater off - and then turn around and have to put it back on!

I don't know why I'm always so cold - doesn't matter if it is summer or winter - I am freezing. Hubby can have the fan on, and I'm buried under a blanket watching TV or reading. I'm about ready for the fireplace to be lit. Only problem with that is that the heat isn't blown out into the room - it just sits there and looks pretty. You have to be within six inches of the fire to feel any of the heat. But it does look nice.

I need to invest in more long sleeve tops, I think. A little bit more cooler and I'll start wearing sweaters under the sweaters. When I leave here in the afternoon, the temps have usually warmed up so a sweater would be way too warm. Occasionally I still put the air on about 1/2 way home. Other nights I just sink into the cushion and let the warmth of the seats warm me up.

And that's ok. I'm just unique and different.

Kind of like how people are when they say they believe in God. You can tell more by their warmth - than you can by their coldness. Not to say it has anything to do with body temperature - but more like heart temperature. I know people who would fight to the death that they are Christians, but their lives, their words, their actions all say a different thing. I'm not perfect, by any means, and I often have to go back and apologize for something I said, or something that could have been taken wrong. Everyday I ask God for forgiveness and if there is something I need to apologize for, to bring it to mind so that I can be a witness for Him.

How warm are YOU today?

Blessings!
