The things we cannot control are the things we should not be worrying about.
However, if you are a worrier by nature, it’s tough to stop doing something that comes naturally.
Bad breath is one of the things that come naturally that we do not have to worry about as long as we practice good oral hygiene.
The preceding is the kind of blogpost opening one has when they have just concluded a roaster of a week temperature-wise.
Heat indexes over 100.
Temperatures in the upper 90s.
And summer’s first official day is not until Tuesday, June 21st.
We may be receiving a dress rehearsal for what turns out to be a brutally hot summer,
When temperatures are still in the 80s late into the evening and early morning of the following day, you know you’ve been cooking weather-wise.
HVAC companies love it.
So do auto service shops.
You cannot control these high temperatures but you certainly can take advantage of them depending on what your business is.
I once dropped an egg on the cement when I was a kid to see if the egg would fry.
If it did, it didn’t look good enough to eat.
So, I think I ended up cleaning it up, but I’m not really entirely confident of that as it was a very long time ago.
Hot weather makes me spacy.
Whenever I forget to screw back on the lid to the fish food, I blame it on hot weather.
I suppose I should correct myself and say hot weather can make me forgetful.
I tend to commit a lot to memory.
Sometimes I set appointment reminders in calendar software (Outlook is one of them) if I want to tend to something I only do sporadically; setting appointments in calendar software comes to mind.
Is preferring to remain outside when temperatures are in the upper 90s an example of operating outside of your comfort zone?
I would suggest it is.
When did saying drink plenty of water get replaced by saying stay hydrated?
I think it might have been sometime during the 90s but I cannot say for sure.
Why don’t people say stay lubricated when they suspect it may be a day that might dry them out?
So and so is not sustainable or this or that is not sustainable.
I wonder if there are more things that are not sustainable than are.
I only think this sometimes because if all things must end, what can really remain that is sustainable?
Even small amounts of sugar–artificial or natural can be bad for you.
Guess I should feel bad about having that double scoop of butter almond in a giant waffle cone last weekend.
I think if I did feel bad about something like that, it would make me an official worrier.
While I can control what I put into my body, I don’t worry about it too much.
They say all things in moderation.
I say all things without worry.
Just apply a little common sense.
Various 4th of July hot dog eating contests are just around the corner.
Don’t enter into any of them, please, lest someone or yourself end up worrying about the harm it might cause to your body.
If you have uncommon sense like I do, you decide that instead of participating in the hot dog eating contest, you just have a couple of fully dressed dogs and wash them down with a cool, sugar-free beverage.
Eat, sleep, drink and enjoy.
And don’t worry about the rest.
