Dear Summer,

I've had about enough of you.

July 2016 was Earth's hottest tháng ever recorded. bạn heard me. Ever. Was that really necessary?

I really need to di chuyển on, Summer, and I'd like bạn to do the same. Don't drag it out. Let's just get on with it.

You're just not doing it for me anymore. These hundred degree days are just too much. My skin burns at the thought of you. I dread having to go outside, because I know bạn and your evil little buddy The Sun are there and ready to burn me. (Tell that jerk he's up past his bedtime.) I shouldn't have to apply sunscreen for a 5 một phút trip to the store, Summer.

I'm ready to di chuyển on to winter. At this point, I'm even prepared to skip the fall stage. I'm just not a summer person, Summer. I can't do this anymore. I have wants. I have needs.

I want to reunite with my yêu thích hoodie, and wear it so often that people will wonder if it has fused to my skin.

I want to wear my warm, fuzzy, fleece pajamas again.

I want to be bake and be grateful for the heat, instead of buying pre-made thực phẩm to avoid turning the house into a sauna in hell.

I want winter food. Do bạn know what it's like to crave súp when it's a hundred and five degrees out? Do you?!

I want to take a hot vòi hoa sen with steam so thick, I can't find the shampoo bottle.

I want the rush of a last một phút trip to the grocery store and standing in a crowded line right before a snowstorm. Everyone bundled up and dripping with melted snow and clutching loaves of bánh mỳ, bánh mì and gallons of sữa they probably don't really need.

I want to get snowed in. But just for a ngày hoặc two. I'm not a complete hermit. Yet.

I want to lie in giường in warm pajamas with a good book and not worry about having to go anywhere.

I want to hear kids playing in the snow and having the time of their lives. Just kidding. Pipe down, bạn little maggots.

I want to take snow pictures. Snow falling. Snow covering my car. Snow plows building a tường at the end of my driveway, which prevent anyone from visiting. No unexpected visitors on snow days!

bởi the time February rolls around and the novelty of snow has worn off and I'm tired of aching from the cold, I will start to lie on the đi văng and watch summer movies. This is when I will think of you.

Don't get too excited. bạn and I both know I'll miss bạn when you're gone. It happens every year. When I get bạn back, I'll be happy. For like a week. For that one happy week, things are great. And then your temperature starts rising. And rising. And rising.

We'll always have the memories, Summer. I'll even be happy when bạn return tiếp theo year. But right now, it'S FREAKING HOT AND OH MY GOD bạn NEED TO CHILL.
