When working on July’s Monthly Edit, I couldn’t believe I was sitting there talking about July being over. I truly feel like I’ve wasted so much of this year away. I could go exploring the state of Arizona, but, with the heat and just generally feeling so…deflated all the time, I just don’t want to. So I’ve just really just keep up my (mostly) solitary lifestyle which, honestly, just involves a lot of working overtime and watching Supermarket Sweep reruns.

That said, here are a few of the things that are helping me get through a summer stuck indoors. With a record number of 110+ degree days broken today, it’s somewhat of a blessing right?
