There is a saying here in Maine: "If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute."

Or, you know, overnight.

Yesterday was hot and nasty and muggy and wet, and it stayed that way. When I went out at midnight for my pre-bedtime smoke, it wasn't any cooler outside than it was in my stuffy little room. (Note to self: Get a fan. And a piece of wood for propping the window open with.) I stripped the blankets off my bed and went to sleep under a sheet, not wearing too awful much.

Cut to about four-thirty, when I wake to the sound of tons of water falling from the sky. It wasn't just rain, it was loud sheets. "Good," I thought, "maybe it will cool things off a little." I got up to pee, found the rest of the apartment to be much cooler, and juryrigged a way to open my window a little before I went back to sleep.

I woke up chilly this morning. When I eventually dragged myself out of bed to make coffee, I poked my head outside. AND IT IS COLD OUT THERE.

My state is so weird.
