In the thaw of things

There are times when your body plays the treacherous villain and refuses to acclimatize to temperatures of the very house it resides in.

Case in point my very own roguish skin and bones which absolutely declined to come to terms with today's weather.

What with waking up idiotically early and donning layers of secondary and tertiary skin to lay conquests on morning kitchen I realized with a shudder that through all these activities my body kept a steady shiver.
In fact once everything was done with I stayed lazing on a couch, my body still gasping from a shock of frozen jolt.
Was I not wearing enough armour to ward off winter sorcery? I had enough layers to survive a Siberian summer, yet here I was feeling oddly cold and worryingly uncomfortable.

Yikes, I thought to myself. This might perhaps be a warning or symptoms or even the advent of an unbecoming seasonal flu.
No, this can't be..and so I thought and marched into my bedroom to wrap myself in layers of beddings so as to keep myself from feeling like a tropical lemur in Himalayan forests.
Five minutes past and I was slowly swallowed by a second wave of sleep I'd so sworn to stay away from.
I'd a few dreams in the fifteen minute wink..that of sailors eating in McDonald's, of a fitness guru telling me what kind of food items should and shouldn't be frozen, of a claw piercing in my eye and to that I woke up, thinking that a nearby cat was trying to wake me up..but it's wasn't so.

I was alone in the house, wrapped in thick layers of warm cotton and the chilly shiver attempting at surcease.

To throw back the warm covers, jump out of the bed and headlong plunge into my daily chores was for me the work of a moment.
Slowly I realized that I was beginning to feel normal.

It was cold, yes. This is the winter season after all and my spine a few short hours ago indeed felt like it was replaced with an icicle, but somehow after the initial awkwardness at making friends with everyday cool house my body had begun to warm up.

However it is a rarity to keep feeling cold when your system is so used to the same weather.

Each day something new I guess..
