I was outside with NO JACKET in November in Montreal. That’s wild. But I enjoyed the hell out of it!! I remember that it snowed on November 1 last year and pretty much didn’t stop until January so I ain’t mad. Yes, I know about climate change, but I’m still going to enjoy this!!!
And I’m sure all the aunties and grandmamas would caution me about not getting sick, but I never understood how people think you can just get sick from being outside with short sleeves. Hilarious. No people, that's not the thing that gets you sick! Now, not washing your hands after you use the restroom?!? Mhm. That’ll do it. I’m looking at some of y’all crazy cuz how did you forget how to wash your hands after a whole pandemic?!?!?
Anywho, don’t get me started. Like always, get ur ass outside.
