A bit damp

Hot, muggy heat is the pits. It’s not even that hot outside, comparably, but the humidity seeps through the plaster walls of the house and lingers for days. One of those weekends that you can only manage the bare minimum of…anything, really. If it weren’t for my dog, I probably couldn’t summon the energy to move.

If you ever hear me griping about being cold in the winter, please feel free to reach through the screen and slap me.

Oddly enough, the weather makes me think of socks. Really. Mostly about how I can’t abide the thought of wool on my feet right now, ,but also about the vast majority of sock patterns I see are for crew socks and longer, and hardly ever for ankle socks. Is it some sort of sock-knitter thought process that ankle socks are lesser socks? Is it something about their shortness? Am I think too hard about sock patterns, and seeing bias that isn’t really there? Is the muggy atmosphere inside the house making my brain cells stick together? Is it only the second official day of summer and I’m already pining for fall?
