Weather
Weather. It’s what people talk about when they don’t really have anything else to say, right? And I really can’t think of anything else to say right now. So here we go: weather.
But really, what’s been up with it lately, actually? Thunderstorms that last for maybe 10-15 minutes, humidity, and awful heat. My earlier blog entry about insomnia? Forget not having a reason. For the past two nights, I’ve been staring at the ceiling because it is simply too hot to fall asleep.
On the bright side, though, there has been an explosion of skirts, shorts, and flip-flops at school. There are more bright reds and pinks and oranges and light greens and blues. The colors and the weather combined make it feel like summer, which makes me happy …
But also quite upset. Because it is making me slightly stir-crazy. Having to sit inside a classroom and take notes while I could be outside lying in the grass and taking a nap in the sunshine is frustrating. Dutifully completing all my homework at night when I could be outside talking a walk is extremely sad.
I am ready for summer.
But I’m not ready for more heat.
What a dilemma.
