So. . . yeah

 Cockroaches play dead when you turn on the lights in the middle of the night, then flip over and start running around when you flush the toilet.  Termites swarm the outside porch lights until they can find a way to get in and eat away your house (starting with your bed frame).  Flies and mosquitos are EVERYWHERE being the buggy bugs they were born to be.

I am accepting that chin sweating and walking slow is a common practice for a reason, you don’t have any other choice. I am also learning how to grow things, just let the onions and garlic sit on the counter and let the humidity do all the work.

I am realizing this is summer in the City. The Southern-kind, surrounded-by-bayou-kind of city.
