last night i dreamt that i was getting ready to go to high school on a cold rainy winter day. i put on my clothes and my sweater and realized i was still cold. big furry boots and a scarf - still cold. i borrowed my sister's huge parka, which looked so fluffy and warm, but when i put it on, it felt thin and insubstantial and i was still cold.

as i was getting dressed, i listened to the radio. an advisory came on, telling me that it was unsafe to drive, and if i needed to get somewhere this morning, i should call the police and they'd send a big truck escort. i thought i would be okay driving myself, but i called just in case. "okay, hang tight; we'll come pick you up," they said. and i sat down to wait.

and then i woke up. and i was cold.

the weather's turned so suddenly. seems like only a few days ago that it was almost too hot to sleep under the covers. and now i can't get warm enough, it seems.
