OK. Here’s one more gripe about the heat. With apologies to those who put up with more intense temps or focus on more serious issues like climate change, let me just say: It’s tough to be a morning person when there’s so much to fit into a morning.
Even for the happily retired, there was already breakfast and journaling and reading the morning paper before 9 AM. But now there’s weeding before it’s too hot, walking or cycling before it’s too hot, and if there wasn’t a severe thunderstorm the night before, watering. This morning, one more thing. The no-wait time for an oil change at Valvoline was 8 AM, when they open.
The only solution seems to be rising at 5 AM and – if there’s not a power outage – starting with the inside stuff and then sneaking outdoors at sunrise.
Any other morning people with this problem? How are you dealing?
