It's getting hotter by the day here in the Big Sweaty Apple...humidity rising as well... as the 4th of July approaches. We are hearing less fireworks these days as people hold their stash to celebrate on the day.
Today was the day to pay bills <ugh> catch up on paperwork and calls... cell service is spotty at best <thanks AT&T> usually by the fourth attempt at least I can sometimes get through. Took a drive to the waters edge tonite... we have the Long Island Sound nearby... the park was so crowded... didn't get out to walk... instead used the opportunity to call Mom and chat while sitting in the AC car and watching the water.
It was getting late and so instead of cooking, stopped by on the way back and grabbed Taco Bell to go... Mexican pizza, tacos & burritos later we sat outside and ate out on the deck. It was nice to just relax and eat... the food was passable... and I didn't have to cook or clean up... today was a day off.
Watching the news tonite I am saddened to see the scenario repeating that we experienced here in NYC back in March and April... nurses and doctors running out of PPE... long lines for tests... hospitals running out of beds... and the number of cases rising exponentially... in excess of 54,000 new cases tonite.
We need the federal government to implement a nationwide strategy of promoting mask wearing, social distancing and hand washing. This isn't rocket science... we know what to do... how many more have to die needlessly before we learn?
How was your day? What's on your plate? Thoughts?
