The Sunshine State Shuffle
A Hilarious Ode to Florida's Fickle Weather
Oh, Florida, land of sun and fun
Where weather changes on the run
One moment it's hot, the next it pours
Leaving tourists and locals in uproars
Sunshine Swindle
Sunscreen on, shades in place
Ready to bask in the sunny embrace
But wait, what's this? Dark clouds appear
Seems like the rain is drawing near
Umbrellas out, flip-flops flip
The sudden downpour, what a trip!
From beach towels to raincoats in a flash
Florida's weather makes a sudden splash
Tempest Tease
Lightning crackles, thunder roars
Nature's show leaves us all outdoors
A viral video opportunity knocks
As we witness the weather's shocking paradox
From clear skies to stormy rage
Florida's weather flips the page
A true viral sensation, no doubt
As we dance in the rain, screaming and shouting
Muggy Mayhem
The humidity rises, the heat's intense
We're sweating through our clothes, no pretense
A viral challenge to beat the heat
As we search for relief in every street
Ice bucket challenges, anyone?
Or maybe a dip in the nearest run
Florida's weather keeps us on our toes
In viral videos, the chaos grows
Conclusion
So here's to Florida, the land of surprise
Where weather antics viralize
From sunshine to showers, it's never a bore
The Sunshine State shuffle, forever more!

I was going to relax this evening. Tune out, hunker down, look after myself. I need it. I am exhausted. Thoroughly used up. And it's only Wednesday. Not even half way through the week. A week that in the UK, is Mental Health Awareness week. I don't know who decides these things, who gets to co-opt a day, a week, a month, and declare it a thing about a thing. But I do know a lot about mental health. I know a lot about mental health AND I know a lot about working for the UK's National Health Service. And so it was with interest that I clicked play on the below video, earlier today. By the time I finished, I was in tears.

Yeah - the ice bucket for sure! Muggy and I don’t get along so I left the Midwest for the Pacific Northwest, while relatives moved to Florida and stay there. Great breakdown of the weather, so true - just when you want to bask in the sun the storm clouds roll in.
