Heat

I don't need my disclaimer for this post :)



It's HOT. I suppose being that it is July 18, that should be expected, but still, it is HOT.



Summer is supposed to be for doing fun things and relaxing. In fact, I think that is why we got our RV and timeshare, but just like with the boat, it isn't working that way.



Other than our Lake Tahoe vacation, we have been sitting in the house with the air conditioning on for weeks on end. I had promised myself that this summer would not be wasted in the house, yet here I sit. Just taking my oldest out to learn how to drive was torture. It felt like we drove through the Mojave Desert for 5 hours. It is such a chore to go outside. My dog rode along this morning for a few errands, but opted out of sticking her head out the window after about 5 minutes. She was even miserable. I have heard her heavy sighs all afternoon while she lay next to me.



What is the deal with this? Life is moving faster with each passing day. Summers when I was a kid seemed to last a long time. The day was long and we enjoyed all 3 months of summer. Now, it seems like it goes in a few weeks. We just have not figured out how to do this summer thing right. When we move to San Diego one day, this won't be a problem, but until then, something needs to change.
