There’s all the bright lights and noise of Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, or even the beach. There are so many social expectations we struggle with. And the heat itself can be overwhelming. Does anyone else find summer heat to be completely draining? It’s so much mental and emotional labor…
Ugh, I know. And the ash and stuff from the Canadian wildfires isn’t helping for those of us in the US whose cities are experiencing high AQI.
I pretty much sweat ALL the time (even on super cold days) so summer is the worst. And people just feel the need to randomly set off fireworks in residential neighborhoods in summer, anyway, so not only is it annoying to hear the sudden sounds without warning, it’s also dangerous!
You have my sympathy. We’ve had that for several years in the American West now, and we know to expect the fires, smoke, and drought. I hope you don’t get this every year. Don’t get me started on illegal fireworks, especially in brushland.
