Savannah's Chill: Why My Laptop Hates 4.45°C (And Other Messy Truths)

so i just checked the weather and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 4.45°C with a biting wind that makes your bones feel like they're auditioning for a horror movie. i mean, it's not freezing, but it's definitely not 'let's work from the porch' weather. my laptop fan is whirring like a stressed hummingbird trying to keep up. if you get bored, atlanta and charleston are just a short drive away, but honestly, the thought of bundling up for that feels like a marathon i haven't trained for. someone told me that the local coffee shop has the best brew, but others say it's overrated. i heard that from a barista who looked like they'd seen a ghost. *chilly mornings make me crave warmth, but finding a cozy spot feels like hunting for a needle in a haystack of cold stares. overheard gossip at the farmers market? 'the new art gallery is haunted,' they whisper, but i'm more worried about my fingers going numb while trying to sketch. check out the historic district on tripadvisor if you dare, or maybe yelp for a place that doesn't feel like a fridge. another tip: pack layers. layers are your best friend when the grnd_level pressure feels like it's squeezing the life out of you. don't trust the sea_level humidity; it's a sneaky little devil. pro tip: if you're a digital nomad like me, find a spot with decent wifi and a space heater. random local noun: 'the moss on those oaks is so thick, it looks like they're wearing beards.' another random local noun: 'the river smells like...well, river stuff.' final random local noun: 'the best sunset spot is where the grnd_level meets the sky.' embed map:
