heat advisory

in the last 7 years of living in NYC, there have been two days, that i know of, that have been designated as "heat advisory" days. these are days where it is too hot for you to even go outside. being outside should be done at your own risk and when you have fully hydrated. these days are exciting, the same way rainy days are, because you feel like you are forced to stay in the house. you can feel that even though the sun is shining and it looks like a glorious day to explore and exert energy, you really don't have do. in fact you shouldn't.
you are doing what you need to be doing. staying indoors. not letting the extreme heat effect you.
something about the ease of that feels just right. and lets you veg at home all day. without any feelings of guilt that you are missing out on summer.
