I DID A THING


I did it.
Yes, I finally did.
Oh, the fireplace doesn't count.
I've had that sucker on even during the summer.
No, I truly did it.
Okay, so I did it maybe five times, but only for fifteen minutes each.
Just a little.
Just enough to make a real difference.
Just enough to feel it all the way into my bones.
To be honest, I did it again a few seconds ago.
I don't care what you think.
There's suddenly a chill in the air, and it feels great.
Not inside, though.
It doesn't feel so wonderful when stepping out of the shower.
So, I did it.
Yup, I did the thing.
I cranked the heat, but only for a few times and only for a few minutes.
I also changed over to flannel sheets.
Winter's coming, folks.
Crank the furnace.
It's time.
