Am I The Only One Who Finds Summer Intolerable?
I feel an intense shame in admitting that I find the summer intolerable. The hot season beckons intense stimuli: glaring sunlight, high temperatures, strong smells, and loud noises — this persistent attack on the senses can leave me feeling just about ready to snap somebody's head off.
But during the ‘Ber months, I’m at my peak. I thrive in this cinnamon-flavored, rustic-tinged world of cooler temperatures, changing foliage, and Gilmore Girls vibes. I’m like a flannel-wearing squirrel, impatiently waiting for September 1st so I can start adorning my nest with the autumnal TJ Maxx finds I’ve accumulated over the years.
