Summer is on its Way

It’s getting hotter day by day. One of these days, I’m going to have to start taking a shower with cold water again. If that alone is not strong enough proof of the fact that summer is just around the bend, consider this. What word do you most strongly associate with “summer afternoons”?
Lazy.
Everybody has had to have read or heard of the phrase “a lazy summer afternoon”. And it’s true, isn’t it? We tend to be lazy during the summer, not only because we have our summer vacation, but also probably because the heat makes us lethargic. It’s just too hot to do anything. The other problem is that you have to switch on the fan to make yourself comfortable, but we end up inadvertently making ourselves too comfortable, and the moment we pick up books to read, and lie under the fan, we tend more often than not to fall asleep.
(This post is probably an excuse for why I’m not studying Organisational Behaviour despite the fact that I have a quiz tomorrow!)
Good luck in the quiz. I have a hard time falling asleep unless I hear the sound of a fan (even in winter). It isn’t always the breeze, it is the sound. lol
I know exactly what you’re talking about! Same thing used to happen with me. Then it got too cold.
I don’t think it’s laziness, I think it’s more of a no worries kind of thing. Like a relaxation deal. Perfect time to lay by the pool, take a dip in. It may be hot in the summer but everybody can use some heat every now and then.
It gets REALLY hot in India.
I think the heat saps a lot of the energy away, actually.
