I really cant get over the weather here in Portales. When choosing to move in August I cringed at the idea of heavy lifting (which I didnt have to do thanks to M.) in the hottest part of the year. And it was hot.. supposedly. The temperatures read 102 the first day I moved here but sure didnt feel like it. People kept telling me oh its dry heat, dry heat this, dry heat that. I guess it is not something you can understand until you have grown up where the humidity causes a 10 degree 'feels like' difference and when first stepping out the door you begin to melt immediately. The humidity here actually makes it feel LESS hot outside. That is just mind blowing to me.
Its been overcast all day today and rainy off and on so I went ahead and canceled my camping trip plans to Bottomless Lakes State Park. It is so cool outside, where I am currently sitting on the patio in amazement. Realize that even if it were overcast in Galveston it would be muggy and hot.
The first football game of ENMU's season is tonight and it defintely feels like football weather outside. I will have to get my hoodies from home when I visit next weekend but for now I will just wrap up in a blanket and sit outside and count my blessings :)
post script: Please remind me of this bragging on the weather in a few months when I am miserably cold and wishing I was back in Galveston's winter.
