I did some chores in the kitchen, sat down to cool down--I was wringing wet after just 15 minutes of wiping down the counters and cabinets--and I decided to read a book...only I fell asleep! One minute it's around 1pm, and the next, it's 3pm! Wow, now I know I'm getting old.
Guess I probably should try and eat some lunch. Don't really feel like a meal, tho' I am hungry. Meh--I'll nip into the kitchen for some honey-nut Cheerios and ice cold milk for my "lunch."
At least I remembered to take that little whole young chicken I got for 3 bucks last week, out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge. Not looking forward to running the oven in this heat, tho'. But, it'll take a day or two to thaw out enough to cook, so maybe by then the temperatures will go down.
Well, the tourists are coming in by the droves now, and I'm even hearing more private jets coming in to land at the little county airport outside the city. Saratoga race meet starts next week, drawing an international crowd of both the posh and the not-so-posh, by the thousands into the the Saratoga/Adirondack region. What with the thorobred and harness horse racing, the national museums, the polo, ballet, street cafes, and other cultural attractions in Saratoga, combined with the lakes and beaches, "fun" attractions, the rodeos, parasailing, cruises, mountains, amusement parks and such, up here, it's the one time of year when it can be truly hard to find an empty hotel room in a 50 mile radius--which is really saying something because there's literally hundreds of hotels, motels and resorts , within that radius--not to mention condo and apartment rentals, state and private campgrounds, dude ranches and rustic cabins.
