cabin fever

This week I've been a shut-in. I left this last week before work starts back completely open on the calendar in hopes that I'd have a "last hoorah" of the summer in the great outdoors.
Instead, the early August heat wave has blown its hot humid breath in my face and caused me to backstep into my living room, shutting a seemingly permanent door on the rest of the world. Literally, I left the house for about 3 hours today....and other than my tai chi class last night...that's all I've been out all week. I don't think I can remember the last time in my life when I was a shut-in this bad.
