According to the weather network, it’s 32°C, but feels like 40°. It is blistering hot! And despite the fact that I have awful allergies; skin so pale that I might as well be allergic to the sun; and a computer that overheats and randomly shuts down in this heat, I want to emphasize that I am NOT, in any way, shape or form complaining! I bloody LOVE it!
After a good 9 months - feels that way, anyway - of cold, damp, depressing weather, I have to embrace the sweltering heat in all its sweaty stickiness. The only problem is that I have no inclination to do anything. Today is the last day of my three days off and I’m going stir crazy, but I can’t gather the energy to go anywhere. I wake up, have my coffee on the balcony and try to get some reading in before it’s too hot to do even that, then I hop in the shower and. . . that’s it - that’s all the energy I got, expended on a few mundane tasks. This causes a problem for me. I have the urge to go and do after 2 days of doing nothing and going nowhere. It doesn’t matter where I’m going or what I’m doing, I just feel like that’s what I how it should be. I suppose the only solution is to either change my mind frame so that I can plop around guilt free OR decisively act on my instinct to, as I so eloquently put it, go and do. This vacillating between the two just ain’t cutting it. Video games or coffee shop? Sitting on the balcony or driving to the store? Making inane lists of the random and the silly or making a to do list and actually doing it? As far as choices go, I got it pretty easy.
