Summer Heat

I am NOT a summer person.

It occurred to me sometime in June last year that summer is the season I like the least.  The only reason I ever thought that I liked summer before was because when I used to hear the word "summer" I would think "vacation".

This is no longer the case.

Now the only thing that makes summer different from any other time is that getting places is terribly uncomfortable and a large portion of the population smells funny...usually the people standing closest to me on the bus.

It also occurred to me that the biggest reason I hated winter was driving on icy roads.  Now I don't own a car and my driver's license expired over 6 months ago (it's on my to do list).  Though walking on the icy sidewalks is still an issue and I fall at least once a year (usually more than that and usually in front of a lot of people or in the road), I would still take that over the sweaty, smelly, summer in the city.

It isn't even June yet and today was already a mid 90s kind of day.  I am dreading the next couple months and happily looking forward to sweater weather again.

  1. I love the summer! But I don't have to worry about smelly people... Much. There were smelly people I worked with but I would avoid them at all costs, its a year round smell, and both have currently quit. So my summer is looking up!
