“Remoted – Hybrid” – Day 750 (Tuesday) – whining

The cold weather is back and so is my weather whining, adding a fresh layer that contributes to the overall symphony of whining. The high temperature was around 37 degrees today, with the low shown as 23, but in a couple days it will be back into the 50s again. Gotta love that New England weather roller coaster ride. It is rarely safe to put the gloves away until Memorial Day.

When the temperature dropped and I woke to snow on Monday, it was a bummer. Just two days earlier I had cleaned up the flower beds and removed all the protective cover of leaves from last fall. Now all the new shoots are left exposed to the weather and I feel like a neglectful plant guardian. 

Sunday night had a moment of impulsive online shopping at Kohl’s. There was a coupon, and things I wanted were on sale, and there was Kohl’s Cash issued, and I love the pretend money. Five items were ordered to help revive the wardrobe – two pairs of Vera Wang pants, two cami tops, and a new purse.

Today, the first parcel arrived, bearing one pair of the pants. This means there is the possibility of relieving the “what to wear to work” stress on Wednesday. It’s still just a “possibility” because, until the pants are tried on, I can still imagine they actually fit. If they don’t fit, it won’t be the end of the world. They can be exchanged or returned in a store, defeating the purpose of shopping online to avoid going to a store, and reloading the reserve of excuses for whining.
