The weather is finally (FINALLY!) changing here in Reno. We woke up this morning to temperatures 20 degrees cooler than normal. And I am positively thrilled with it. Sure, to get those cooler temperatures we had to endure a day of windwindwind. But, that’s part of living in Nevada. Nevada = wind. It’s just an empirical fact. I would be happy if cold fronts could just move in with a lot less wind, but I’ll take what I can get. I am beyond done with the hot weather though and if I don’t feel another 90 degree day until next summer, that will be too soon.
Yes, yes. We all know how much hot weather.
I love it when the seasons change to fall and winter. The snap in the air, the need to dig out long sleeved shirts, the way you can just leave the air conditioner off for once. Wonderful!
I don’t do change too easy, unfortunately. Which is kind of surprising because of the way I love the change of seasons. And the way that I’ll be invigorated by a major-shakeup. Change is stressful. With the good, the new, comes the stress and chaos and uproar. I don’t like uproar. I like how predictable my day to day life is. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all happen at about the same time every day. The wee ones take their naps at the same time. Kile gets home at roughly the same time. Bedtime for the wee ones is at the same time and afterward, we do the same things that we do every other day. May sound dull to some, but to me it’s comforting and familiar.
Still, once in a while it’s nice to shake things up. Do things a little different for a day, go different places, see different things. I wouldn’t want my entire life to be in flux, but every once in a while, it’s nice to do something different. If only because that makes me appreciate our routine all that much more.
We’re still talking about moving away from Reno (shocker, I know). I’m at the same time excited about the possible change-up, and scared by it as well. Living in a new environment, and re-arranging our routine to fit it… that is both thrilling and stressful. I’m not sure which is more prevalent. I’d have to say the desire to move away from Reno is stronger though. The stress would be worth it in the long run.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Is there anyone else out there who uses the comfort of routine like a warm, fuzzy blanket? And is there anyone else who is beyond happy to see the cooler temperatures arrive?
