Heat -
I don't know what changed between this year and last year. I have been unable to handle the heat. I'm sitting in my office eating an Otter Pop right now to keep cool. Its a pink strawberry one and I can't even lie, it's pretty tasty. I've got a blue one on my desk for when I finish this pink one.
I've always believed I love summer. I loved the heat and the sun, but right now I am not really agreeing with that. It could also be that I just flip flop every season. The grass is greener on the other side, right? I want snow in the summer and I want heat in the winter.
If you've looked at the gallery, you may have noticed something. There is a very large difference in the amount of hiking pictures between this year and last year. I haven't started hating hiking or going outside, but this heat has just been making me want to stay in all day. That and schedules have made it more difficult to get out.
I'm hoping next summer that the heat will be less severe and I can get out more willingly.
I've also noticed one other thing when it comes to hiking. Last year, I would say it was very easy to hike. This year, man.. it wasn't easy on a moderate trail. I have put on a lot of weight in muscle. Now I have to work harder to get my body up the same trails.
Also I would like to mention, I do enjoy writing what's on my mind. I don't expect these entries to be read by anyone. I wouldn't have called this a journal if I was hoping every entry would be commented on and shared. Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy writing larger articles like my circle wrench one, but those take a while.
Now that I'm done writing this, I'm going to munch on my blue Otter Pop.
