i knew that upon moving back to vermont i'd have some weather adjustments. it wasn't until after i had arrived here that i learned that vermont is the second cloudiest state in the country. good thing i didn't know that before i left colorado, the state with 300 days of sunshine annually.
i knew it would rain in the winter, which it did, promptly upon my arrival in march.
i knew it would snow in may, which it did.
it also rained for just about every day in between. i know this is a national problem right now, with tornadoes and flooding spread across the country. so i just keep telling myself, it doesn't always rain this much in vermont.
but i knew all along that it would be humid. humidity is something i was spared for my five years in colorado. sure, it got hot, and wow, was that sun powerful, but the heat was dry and manageable.
humidity and i have officially re-introduced ourselves. we met in the middle of the night as i tossed and turned with my sheet, double fans blowing, as i swore i was moving back to colorado next week and feared for the summer in our second story apartment.
i woke up bleary-eyed and sweaty. i'm not moving back to colorado next week (sorry, my colorado peeps). our second story apartment will be manageable. my mother assures me that we don't always have 90-something percent humidity. i'm going to take on the humidity day by day. i'm going to swim as much as i possibly can, and eat ice cream like you wouldn't believe.
in the meantime, i'll be rejuvenating myself with iced coffee & dancing to dispatch's new music at my desk. what better way to get a fresh start on the day?

yes to beating the heat with ice cream, swimming, and maybe the occasional double feature at the movies if we're in desperate need of some ac.
