“I’ll do that when it cools off.”<\/p>\n

How many times have you heard someone in your household say that over the past few weeks?<\/p>\n

Summer in Lubbock seems to have a way of putting things on pause. It’s not that we are super lazy…it’s that we are trying to survive the weather without becoming a rotisserie chicken.<\/p>\n

Instead, we spend a few months making plans for our future (much cooler) selves to do…<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of things that are probably getting pushed off at your house due to the heat.<\/p>\n

Going For Walks\"personPhoto by Sincerely Media<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>person in white and black nike shoes<\/p>\n

Yeah, absolutely not. There will be no “walks” until at LEAST September or October. Sorry. Not happening.<\/p>\n

You know what’s hotter than outside?<\/p>\n

Your garage.<\/p>\n

Just sitting there, baking in the sun.<\/p>\n

Sounds like a project for the winter…<\/p>\n

Unless your morning coffee happens at 4 or 5 am, you’re probably putting this one off until this cool down.<\/p>\n

Planting A Garden\"greenPhoto by Markus Spiske<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a>green leafed seedlings on black plastic pots<\/p>\n

This one makes the list because every single week, I say I’m going to “plant the garden.” It’s yet to happen. The seeds are just staring at me from a bag by the back door each time I walk by. Sorry, little dudes. Maybe next year…<\/p>\n

Yeah. Basically.<\/p>\n

If I’m not indoors, I’m unhappy. Point blank\u2014the end.<\/p>\n

What do you keep promising yourself you’ll do when it cools off?<\/p>\n

Drop it in the comments wherever you come across this article. I have a feeling we are all making a pretty similar list…<\/p>\n
