Is this weather driving anybody else crazy? One day it's 57 degrees, the next day it's under 40. I don't know whether to lower the heat or pull out the down comforter.
The result is that I tend to walk around inside the house in a manner that could only be described as "uniquely dressed." I'll start the day off in shorts and a t-shirt since I tend to wake up all nice and toasty (okay, sweaty) from sleeping with the covers pulled up to my chin and the dog snuggled up against my back, face, or whatever body part he decides to wedge himself into.
By mid-morning, I usually need to add another layer on top, so I'll go for a long-sleeved t-shirt to throw over the regular t-shirt. That tends to do the trick until early afternoon. Around 1:00-2:00, I notice that I'm actually freezing, blue fingers and all. At that point, I'll throw on socks and a heavy sweatshirt, and I'll take a 5-minute "hold the dog" break to warm my hands.
I've noticed that as cold as I might get, I don't actually put on pants unless I am leaving the house. Even at my chilliest point, I'll look like summer on the bottom, winter on the top - kind of like the mullet of household dress ware. It's not a fashionable sight.
Of course, it would be so much easier to dress accordingly if the weather would just make up its mind as to which season we're actually in. But hey, this is New Jersey. We shouldn't expect things to be easy.
