The summer doldrums have begun in our neck of the woods. Well, if one actually looks at a weather map of the U.S. of A. one would see that half the country is in the heat. We have had days over 90 degrees for a week now and I am starting to melt.
Melt as in get soaking wet the moment I step out the door. I have gone through two or more sets of clothes a day.
Melt as in I am drinking way too much water and not peeing enough. Well, maybe I am not drinking enough water then, but it sure seems like it.
Melt as in my brain is no longer functioning on all circuits. I forgot to eat lunch today. For those of you that don’t know me that well, I never miss a meal. I mean never, at no time, ever ever. When I am eating a meal I am thinking about what I am going to eat at the next meal. So when I looked in the fridge at dinner making time and saw my packed lunch, I thought “Now that is why I can’t think right.” Really, I totally forgot. I am still reeling at this.
I am not complaining, mind you. There was a time in my life that I would have not left the a/c once the temps rose above 80. I used to leave work, start the car standing outside of it, turn on the a/c and wait until the car was more comfortable. I hated to sweat.
Now that I have little ones that want to be outside, and I want them to be outside, I have no choice but to embrace the heat. I have begun to almost want it. And, quite frankly, I am liking the rockin’ tan that I end up with at the end of a summer well lived.
There. Now I never thought I would say it. But, here goes: I love summer!
