Dog Days of August
Summer time makes us want to be outside. We look forward to outside fun and activities.
Sometimes though as we get deep into August it is just too hot outside for man or beast. The only thing to do when it is so very hot that it is uncomfortable and even unsafe at times to be outside is to stay inside.
Staying inside all day may either seem like heaven or drive you crazy being cooped up. Have a hot day plan of actions (that can also double as a rainy day plan of action)
Make sure the AC is on and keeping you cool. And plan a day of inside fun or relaxation.
Have a movie marathon. Paint a room that you have been wanting to paint. Cool a big holiday dinner. Or just experiment with new recipes. Play board games or card games. Read. Nap. Meditate.
Get creative. Draw or paint a picture. Sew. Learn how to knit. Or try your hand at needlepoint. Build something.
Enjoy a day away from the world and lost in your own world.
Research and plan a winter get away or next summer’s vacation.
If you don’t have AC then head to someplace that does.
Go ice skating or bowling or to the movies.
Visit a museum or go to the library.
Heading to someplace inside can open new discoveries and spark a new interest.
You can spend a day inside alone or spend it inside with others. You can be social or not social.
