Signs You're Having a Mid-July Snow Day Delusion (Besides the Lack of Snow)
- You woke up craving hot cocoa instead of a refreshing iced tea.
- You instinctively reached for your winter coat instead of your swimsuit.
- You built a snowman out of your laundry pile.
- You convinced yourself the shimmer coming off the pavement was actually black ice.
If you answered yes to any of these, well, friend, you might be suffering from a touch of cabin fever. But hey, there's no shame in that! Just crank up the AC, grab a popsicle, and dream of cooler days to come.
