Hot Days
You step out into the heat
You laugh off your pot-smoking neighbor's advances
You wait on the platform as your makeup runs down your dripping face
(How will said neighbor think you look now?)
Ha!
You arrive at your destination
You step over a big dead cockroach on the sidewalk
You think, if this guy can't survive the heat, how do you stand a chance?
You spend the day Googling cool lakeside resorts
(with minimum 2-night stays you cannot afford)
Boo!
You go home and do a rain dance
And think of snow
Or
Alaska

Sounds like it is hot in NYC. My little sister gave me a good tip; Put your pillowcases and your nightgown in the freezer for five minutes before you go to bed. I tried it and I actually felt refreshed for several minutes. Stay cool. You are tougher than a bug.
