I knew it was raining even before I was fully awake this morning.
My weather-barometer knees were sounding alarms similar in intensity to depth-charge alerts from old WWII submarine movies. Dallas is on the southern fringe of the blast of winter weather that is hitting the country’s midsection, bringing with it a strong low pressure system, rain, wind, and, later this evening, snow. I think I could probably pinpoint the exact minute that the low pressure front passed over my house.
I tried to explain the feeling to my husband. It’s like one of those really, really bad headaches that once in a while also has a searing bolt of pain lancing through it. Like that, but in my knees instead of my head.
I guess I was spoiled last week with the warm tropical weather and had forgotten what havoc Dallas weather can render on my poor joints. The good news is that it doesn’t take weather long to change around here. It’s supposed to be 60 and sunny again by Monday.
In the meantime, I hope you have sunny skies and calm joints in your day. Thanks for checking in.
This is why we go on vacations, Carla — so we have something wonderful and hopefully, perfect, to remember when we get home and the weather goes dreadful. I was going to say “welcome home!” but maybe not…
Oh, heck. Welcome home, glad you had the opportunity to get warm and relax for a while, glad you’re back in the RA blogosphere, and glad the bad weather at your end of Texas won’t be sticking around for more than a few days. How about some heat packs on those achy knees?
Sorry your knees herald the weather that way, Carla.
I could feel a low pressure zone coming sometimes days in advance, suffering as I do from migraines (although as I recently posted, since being hit with RA, the migraines seem to have totally subsided strangely enough!).
Take care and I hope your knees are feeling better!
