August is stiflingly hot here, and this morning is no outlier in that regard. I was considering going for a bicycle ride today, but I didn't go to sleep until 3am last night so it was already hot by the time I woke. So this morning, or afternoon I suppose, I sip on my hot coffee under a ceiling fan, spinning round and round. A welcome reprieve from the oven outdoors.
My younger daughter is flopping all over the furniture with a wet towel over her head to keep cool and I feel that on a deep level. C. wonders what it would be like to live in Europe right now. There are certainly bits of local culture that we'd be hard-pressed to part with, but sometimes it's pretty rough living here and we often imagine ourselves packing our bags and leaving to greener pastures. J. and I were texting last night; she definitely would prefer living elsewhere, too.
I suppose it's ~okay~ here. I've travelled internationally and to a bunch of states; there are nice bits and downsides to everywhere I've been. I think it's probably best to make the most of where you are and not chase that elusive green grass. Visiting is fun, though!
Feeling pretty good today, all things considered. Lack of sleep is often the cause of ennui for me, but not today! I'll probably hop on the stationary bike in a bit after I finish off this cup of coffee. HOPEFULLY I can get a good night's sleep tonight and actually go for a ride on my actual bicycle tomorrow!
Stay cool, friends!
