WAITING FOR SUMMER WHILE TUESDAY TEST MY PATIENCE.

As someone who truly looks forward to the warmth and freedom of summer, I completely understand the emotional state of feeling ‘unavailable’ or just not quite yourself until those sunny days arrive. Tuesday often feels like the longest day of the week when you’re stuck waiting for the weekend or the next big thing—summer, in this case. The sentiment of Tuesday pretending to be Friday really resonates with many of us who wish the week would move faster and bring that weekend feeling early. One way I like to cope with these lingering midweek blues is by carving out small moments of joy, even when the season doesn’t feel quite right yet. For example, I try to bring a bit of summer into my day by playing upbeat music, planning future trips to the beach, or even treating myself to a bright, summery outfit or accessories. It’s these little acts that help bridge the gap between the current moment and the joyful anticipation we feel. Using hashtags like #newtolemon8 can help connect with others who share the same feelings or look forward to similar experiences. Whether you are emotionally unavailable until summer or simply wish the weeks would fly by, sharing your mood and stories helps build community and offers encouragement to keep pushing through. So, while Tuesday might test your patience, embracing these moments and finding creative ways to look forward to summer can turn those slow days into manageable stepping stones toward better times. Enjoy the rest of your week with this hopeful spirit, and remember that summer — with all its sunshine and relaxation — is just around the corner!
