It is at times difficult to believe that I am a Puerto Rican born in a small, hot rural village. With the heat in NY scorching us to a whole new level. First of all I don't know what the heck is happening, is it menopause or has my testosterone level risen? I seriously sweat like a guy. Very unlady like I might add. Not that I am dainty and all sweetness. I have been known to fix a leak or two in my life. Yet, I am seriously hiding in my apartment in hopes that this heat will pass and I will be rewarded with what I deem to be a perfect summer day - 80 degress, with a slight breeze and no humidity. I don't think its a lot to ask for.
Back in Puerto Rico, we ran wild and had a convenient little brook to soothe our hot skin. In my light summer cotton dress I roamed the outdoors and chased the chicks while the chickens chased after me to leave their little ones alone. I am no longer 5, nor little, nor cute in my little summer cotton dress. With heat like this I am content to sit on my couch with the fan blowing right on me as I think of things to do in NYC for free, going to the outdoor cinema tonight and about the fact that I definitely need to get something for those dang mosquitos. A whole other story. I just love summer!!
