Everyone that knows me knows I am not a fan of winter. I get more depressed, I don’t like being cold, and I hate not seeing the sun as much. It’s not my least favorite season, but it’s a very close 2nd to last. I dread winter coming every year. Today, however, I’m grateful for winter.

It’s not winter here in Utah yet (in fact it was 65 degrees and sunny today) and I’ve loved having a really long drawn out fall, since fall is my favorite season. However, I have been waking up in the middle of the night the past few nights because I’ve been getting so hot in my sleep. I wake up sweaty and feeling like I’m laying on a hot bed of coals inside a volcano. I haven’t had AC or heat on in over a month and my apartment has stayed pretty much the same temperature that whole time. It’s been great for my electricity bill and super comfortable when I’m just chilling, but it’s a little to hot for me when sleeping. I open my bedroom window and I have three fans on when sleeping, but for some reason my bedroom just won’t cool down enough. The temperature outside doesn’t drop low enough yet to make a difference in the inside temperature. So although I have some problems with winter, I’m thankful that there will come a time in the near future when the temperature will drop low enough for me to cuddle up in my fuzzy blankets and comfortably sleep through the night.
