I do enjoy tanning, hikes, and beaches, but summer isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
1. Heat!
I’m not talking seventies. I mean, more like in the eighties and above. The kind of heat and humidity that makes your skin burn and feel like you’re in a Finnish sauna.
2. Constant thirst.
When you are in the heat for more than thirty minutes and you feel like you could drink a gallon of water.
3. Sweating...
Wearing work cloths on a scorching day while walking to your car proves your deodorant isn’t doing you justice.
4. AC is my best friend.
Without AC, you feel like Frosty the Snowman on a bad day. Makes me consider whether or not I need a necklace fan or even one of those plug-in i-Phone fans.
5. Little crawly monsters.
Bugs, bugs and more bugs. Finding bugs in the your house and bugs you didn’t even know existed. And don't forget about mosquito bites.
6. Lather or lobster.
Putting on sunscreen like you’re icing a cake.
7. Everything is on fire.
The seat belts, steering wheels, doors, railings, and forget about opening car doors.
8. Going blind.
Forgetting your sunglasses and having the squint when outdoors all day.
9. Humidity.
Say goodbye to even trying to make your hair look good. Stepping outside makes your pretty curls turn into troll hair.
10. The pressure.
The pressure to participate in trying to have the best summer before winter comes along again.
