There are times in a young woman’s life when her mind turns to other things.
Like how bleeping hot it is.
I’ve been running melted lately. Especially in the brain. I don’t feel like doing anything productive, so I spend all my time just sitting at my computer, playing Minecraft. I certainly don’t feel like going outside, or even getting dressed most days. My general attitude can be summed up as “meh.” My first inclination was to just have “meh” as my post for today, but well, my sense of propriety (only half melted) insisted on more. Overall, the heat is just making the days blur together, with very little getting done.
And it’s only been in the low 80’s.
It doesn’t take much to melt a Sharayah. Anything 70 degrees or above usually does the trick. I know the temperature because I took a film photography class once, which involved long hours in the dark room developing film. The room was set to 70 degrees, and I’d come out with that irritating feeling of being a bit too hot for a bit too long. It’s not like the lights affected anything, since there weren’t any.
For me, summer isn’t a time of fun, games, and swimming at the beach. I’m far more likely to visit the beach in the off months, like in this photo. I really like it when there’s snow and ice and interesting formations. I don’t go swimming then, though. It’s a wee bit too cold. Still, just walking along the beach is pleasant, especially since there are so few other people, so I can watch the sea gulls on the rocks for as long as I want. Which usually isn’t that long. I’m not much of an outdoor person. Which, alas, makes the nature photography I like doing a tad challenging. The sun allergy doesn’t help either.
