You broke my smolder Friday Giftures

/ bensbitterblog

 

I am in the middle of an epic struggle called it’s the hottest time of the year here, and we have no air conditioning. I was used to that in Seattle, because it never got over 55 degrees there, but here it has been between 95 and like 2000 degrees hotter than sun. I can’t tell. Also, with no air conditioning in my car, the only safe haven from the heat is a pool that we don’t have(or my neighbors are pretending they don’t have a pool because they don’t want to get any bitter in it), or going to work. It allllmost makes me want to go to work. Almost. Just kidding. But it is the only redeeming thing about going there, so I will do a half bitter harrumph, and at least enjoy the air being conditioned instead of boiled. Speaking of being boiled, how about some hotter than the sun giftures…

So to start, let’s…

…just dive right in. 

Let’s…

…take a shot. 

Let’s make sure…

…we are paying attention. 

Let’s…

…push forward.

Let’s…

…try to break the glass ceiling. 

Let’s…

…be the straw that break’s the camel’s back.

Let’s…

…go nuts…

Let’s…

…make a splash. 

Let’s…

…trick even ourselves. 

Let’s…

…jump to new depths…

But worst of all…

…let’s walk around like we earned it, even though we way didn’t. 

So hopefully, your air conditioning isn’t working just like mine and you all the bitter excuses to hang out in a basement, or a dungeon or a cave, whatever keeps you away from people, and keeps you doing anything to keep away from people. If you need me, I’ll be hiding from you and not being findable. So have fun trying to find me.

ARRRRGGGHHHHH
