Weather changes me

across snow covered fields.

Sometimes it is best just to write down your first thoughts, especially about weather, and go from there. The weather in Las Vegas has been interesting and weird. Winter was warmer then normal, I think we may have had three or four nights, in October or November, when the temperatures reached freezing.

The weather seems to affect my mother’s mood more then mine. Mom is much more depressed on cloudy days. Of course, with Mom depression is something that comes and goes throughout the day, but on cloudy days she remains depressed longer. In addition, Mom gets cold easily, so anytime the temperature is below 80 degrees she is cold. I, on the other hand, prefer temperatures 79 degrees or below.

Spring at last. It’s been windy spring with temperatures in the high 70s or mid 80s; however, those days may be over. This week the temperatures are in the 90s. We haven’t had a triple digit day yet (at least I don’t think we’ve had one), but they are coming. I’m not looking forward to triple digits myself; all though, Mom will enjoy the hot weather. The biggest issue I have with Mom is getting her to drink liquids. She barely takes two sips of water with her medication.

triple digit temperatures
and then shorter days.
