A Pajama Day

 Most of the Winter Texans will know what I mean by a "Pajama Day". For me, it is defined as a day when the weather is such that you do not want to venture forth. And since you are not planning to go anywhere you can stay in your pajamas.

The current outdoor temperature is 38 degrees at 8:05 AM. It all started late Monday afternoon as we had happy hour on the deck. Suddenly, the wind was from the North and it had a bite to it. They forecasted that it would drop into the 40s and stay that way until Friday. Those who are staying up North say, "Big Whoop!" and I do understand. We remember what it can be like up there and that is why we are here! To perhaps put a different perspective on it, for a few minutes imagine it is July and the daily temps have been running in the 80s. And then the weatherman says a cold front is coming through and the temps will stay in the 40s for 3 days and nights! That is a bit of a shock to the system. We are acclimated to a balmy 80 degrees. I am not asking for your sympathy because quite frankly I know I don't have a leg to stand on. 

Pajama Days are virtually unheard of and most of the people I know here will not be able to have one anyway because they are committed to being somewhere for an activity sometime today. 

I will thoroughly enjoy my pajama day because it will most likely be the only one this season.
