August in Georgia


-->
For anyone who thinks Southerners are lazy, just come and spend some time in this heat and humidity. I did not realize the extreme state of my malaise until I actually SAW the dishes piled up in my sink this morning. There must be several days worth there. Where have I been?? Washing dishes is at least close to where the cold (relatively speaking) water is. (Even tap water is warm these days). I could stand still and close to the fan. No real physical excuses. Like I totally DO understand why I have not swept the carport however.
But really, why have I avoided this simple task of washing my dishes? Well, because I am well into the second phase of High Heat & Humidity/Extreme A/C Bills/I do not want to move a foot away from the fan /the hotter it gets, the more my body and brain slows down/it’s August in Georgia /Syndrome. Moving and getting things done -turned into standing doing them slowly - turned into sitting and thinking about doing something – turned into just sitting.
To an outsider this could look like true- to- form laziness – but I can assure you that it is SURVIVAL!!
If you do not believe me, come on down and see for yourself.


Proof of my severe condition – I would NEVER let anyone see this, much less take a picture of it, much less let it happen!
PS: Dishes in rack are CLEAN!! – just not put away………YET……..
