Since the second week of June it has been hot. The past few weeks have been unbearable. Scorching. Disgustingly hot. Every week I watch the news and hope for some good news of cooler weather. Unfortunately it has been moving in the opposite direction. This past Tuesday we set the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded around here. Our air conditioner runs non-stop. I am sick of it. I need a break. I need just a few days in the 70's.The worst part about the heat is that you don't feel like doing anything outside. I didn't like mowing the lawn before, and the heat makes it 10 times worse. I feel trapped in the house. I haven't been getting any exercise. I usually ride my bike a couple times a week and take the dogs for walks in the summer. Lately I engage in absolutely no activity. I walk from my car to my desk at work and back. That is it. I feel lazy and unmotivated and I can't wait until the summer is over. I am ready for fall. September can't get here soon enough.
I looked at the forecast today and it finally seems like we might be getting a bit of a break. 80s on Wednesday?!?! Yes please. Even those lower 90s aren't looking so bad going into next weekend. It is a 15 degree improvement from what we have been seeing, and at this point I will take what I can get. Maybe tomorrow will be the last day of the summer that gets over 100... but that might be wishful thinking.
