- Using one's SAD lamp in July;*
- Wearing socks during the summertime,
- Especially while the rest of the country is sunny with hot weather,
- And especially while still dealing with blisters as a result of flip-flops and a touch of sunburn;
- A week straight of rain;
- Having to use the furnace in July.
The following items are decidedly not for chumps:
- Green grass and roses outside, when it's usually dead and brown here by this time of the summer;
- The ability to wear both sweaters and sweatpants without dying of the heat;
- Naps while it's raining outside;
- Being able to drink hot tea;
- Consoling oneself with televised murder mysteries.

Hot tea and naps while it rains. I am so so so jealous. I'm currently wondering if a cup of darjeeling would push me over the edge into heat stroke. If I had money, I would buy one of those iced tea machines, so I could have my darjeeling and drink it too!
An iced tea machine! Is that so that the kettle doesn't heat up the whole house in the summer?
Pretty much. I think they're also supposed to steep tea in a way that makes it tastier when iced... I don't know. I'm poor, so I just put a big jar of water and tea bags in the sun for a few hours, then pop it in the fridge. :) Forgot to do that today, and, as you point out, the kettle would steam up the house.
