I’m wondering if I am the only person in the world who does not like the heat of summer. I just THINK about going outside and I start to perspire. Believe me when I say, “It’s not pretty.”
What brought all this to mind is that during the summer, when I find I have time on my hands, my friends and family must all be outside enjoying the summer, because there’s no one on-line to talk to. Possibly, it’s that I haven’t kept up with the times. I know a large part of my family camps out at Face book, and I admit I get there once in ten days or so. I’d talk with people at Skype, but I only have five people registered there. Perhaps I need to check in to Yahoo Messenger more often.
I hope you’re all having a good time, whatever you’ve been doing.
I visited the Farmer’s Market early on Saturday. I got one of the gardens weeded (and it looks SO much better!). I finished my filing, and worked on the bookkeeping for our companies, prepared for an insurance audit, and did some housecleaning. It was one of those weekends where I finished one chore after another, and the sense of accomplishment was great!
Friday and Saturday should be the calmest days of the week, and I’m looking forward to them. When I have the chance to be on-line, I hope I’ll find some of you and hear how your summer has been going.
Remember to wear your sunscreen!
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
We’ve been going thru a hot spell (90’s the last 2 weeks). I have been trying to avoid the heat which means I stay out of the house as much as possible; we have no air conditioning, and the house is about the same temp as outside. Even the basement is in the 80’s, and with the humidity, is uncomfortable.
So, even if I’m home, I’m out on the deck, in the shade, where at least there is a bit of air flos.
Nope…you’re not the only one Buffy. I’m not in love with the hot temps we’ve been having either sweetie; and I don’t run around outside if I can help it. I’m much more of a cooler temps gal. I especially dislike the hot/humid days…talk about sweating! I stick pretty close to any air-conditioning I can find during the summer. I wish I could say we’re over the worst of it; but as you know….we’re not. Stay cool sweetie… ~Joy
Bogie, When I was in my twenties and early thirties we did without air conditioning. I was hot, but I was accustomed to it. By the time I was 35, air conditioning was available and I’ve gradually become more dependent upon it. Dear Husband feels that I should spend more time outside, but I’m not willing to go out all covered up on a ninety plus degree day, and I need to protect my skin.
Joy, I really think we must be twins. The parallels in our lives are so numerous that we just HAVE to be related!
I am trying to create the habit of gardening between 5:30 and 7:30 because the heat and humidity is just sapping later than that. Like you, air conditioning is my friend, and I am very fortunate to be able to spend so much time with it!
I know the heat will get worse. Take care of yourself, and find a place where you can keep cool.
