Wind

When I left work today, the wind was very strong.  The wind made the air actually feel cool.  There was a haze of dust in the air, and the wind buffeted my car as I drove home.

It has become my habit to gas up the car and go grocery shopping after work on Friday afternoon.  This afternoon, I stopped by the house first, and discovered I had forgotten to turn in my work keys.  So, I returned to work to do so.

As I walked back to the car from my work building, I was buffeted by the wind, and decided that I did not want to be transferring groceries from a grocery cart to the car in this wind.  That may have been a mistake, because tomorrow is supposed to by windy also, and colder.  Oh well, I only had two items on my list, and I can even go shopping on Sunday, if I need to wait.  

I dislike being out in the wind because it takes my breath away.  But even more so, being out in the dust makes my voice become thick and raspy again.  After such a long period of laryngitis that I had this year, I do not need to aggravate my vocal cords.
