With its Last Breath, Summer Spits at Me

In a manner befitting the hellish season this summer created, it has decided to flip me off with one last heat wave of 90-plus temps and humidity before finally going not so gently into that good night. Thankfully, Hurricane Earl will break the heat wave and put this fricking summer out of its misery once and for all.

Good riddance. How the flip do people in Florida live with this kind of weather? I could barely breathe, much less venture outdoors. And even when I did venture outside, I would run into a wall of old fogies who flocked up here from (where else), Florida, all while trying to dodge the wee little ones with their skateboards and bikes and those stupid shoes with them wheels at the back. Everywhere I went, a mass of humanity was getting ALL UP IN MY SPACE.

Then there were the insects. The poison ivy. The stench of abandoned garbage as it cooked in the sun. Agony. Despair. HELL.

Thank God the drought is almost over. As summer winds down and the old battle axes return back south while the wee ones go back to school, I feel like I can finally get my life back again. My finances are back in shape, my blogging account is flush and will now be used almost exclusively for travel, and I am already beginning my preparations for my awesomely awesome road trip in October. It is time to live again!

    Well not quite, it could hit the 90s again this week, before it mercifully plummets to the 70s again on Thursday. The pain of it all!
