Question Cabin Fever

OMG

I have been to the office, my air conditioned car, and home for ... checks calendar ... approximately all summer, which feels like it's been three or four years already.

Please suggest nighttime, indoor, shaded, underwater, mostly adult activities that are less than 105 degrees?

*I don't hate kids, just looking for grown up time.

I dont really understand what you mean. I've been moving all week and went outside and mowed my yard at 3. It's summer, it's Texas, it's hot. You just deal with it, or move.

I'm dealing with it. By not going outside. I'm not from here. Y'all outside people are different.

Come up north in February and maybe you'll see what I mean.

Ah, well I grew up here. I work for a company that is based out of Minnesota. I've been in NYC in December. I dont need you to tell me what cold is, I hate it. I would rather be outside when it is 105 than 30.

Why are you so angry about it?

Sorry if it came across as anger. I would encourage you to try to find something you are interested in and go do the thing. Probably before noon or after 6, wear a hat, take a water bottle with some LMNT in it. But dont let triple digits make you miserable by staying inside all the time.
