Believe it or not, I had to mow the other night. We are trying to sell our house and the grass was just a little too tall and shabby looking to be left the way it was over the winter in case it doesn't snow much and we have people looking at our house.
You've heard of the wind chill factor? Well I would like to introduce you to the mower chill factor. It was about 40 degrees and I felt fine with just a fleece on outside before I got on the mower, however, once on and mowing, it felt every bit of 12.
In no time, I was running inside for the triple-thick toboggan, jacket and gloves. Yes you heard that right, I was mowing in at toboggan and gloves. At that point I was doing fine, but by the end of my 90 minute mowing adventure I was freezing again.
It doesn't help that I no longer have my famous tolerance for cold. Probably due to my lost weight. I shiver like a girl scout in haunted house now whenever it gets cold.
At least I now know that I'm officially done mowing for the year. I also know that I'm going to have to dress a lot more warmly when I go snowboarding this winter. Muscles look a lot better but that fat sure kept me warm.
