The Sweltering Heat (New York City)

 

It is still very hot here in New York City.

It poured down and rained periodically in Queens yesterday but the precipitation did not cool things off.

 

The rain just made the weather hotter.

I love the spring and the summer although when it is too hot the environment is too uncomfortable.

 

Hot And Cold

 

When I visited my place of work on Saturday it was cold outside. I had to wear a jacket.

When I went to work on Monday it was like a summer day, sunny and warm, I did not have to wear a jacket.

On my way home from work it rained while I took public transportation. The rain had stopped by the time I went to catch the last ride home.

Later in the night, and during the wee hours, the rain poured down again, heavily.

I liked the sound of the raindrops as I slept comfortably throughout the night, awaking once or twice to turn position or to use the bathroom.

This morning, the rain continued on as I headed to work. It stopped a while after I had arrived.

It did not rain again until later within the evening, and there is still rainfall as I write now.

 

Yesterday

I arose early on Wednesday morning before heading out.

Yesterday was a beautiful clear day with sunshine. The temperature was reasonably nice considering the prior days of snow, rain, and pure cold.

Later in the afternoon, after four, it had gotten brisk compared to the earlier spring-like tease of weather.

I ran a few errands then returned back home. Overall, I enjoyed the way I spent all of my day.

Fickle Weather, But Nothing Out Of The Ordinary

Apparently, the weather here is fickle in my part of Queens, New York. After all that sleet, pure snow, then pure rain fall yesterday, all precipitation eventually stopped to the sun coming out to shine partially to fully for a while.

Now today, it is cloudy once again.

Everything is clear right now, but the skies are grey. I will wait to see what is next and for what is headed for the atmosphere tomorrow.

I do appreciate the snow when it appears, though, because the snow, in general, plays a part in naturally killing the germs within the air and all around us, and it purifies the environment to a certain extent.

 

Snow And Rain Today

I woke up at 8am this morning, went to the bathroom, then returned to sleep. Outside my window the weather was cloudy, but clear.

When I awoke back up after 11am there was a mixture of rain and snow showering down together.

Not too long afterward, I will say at noon or a little bit afterwards, then there were just snow flurries steadily pouring down without any sleet.

Now, it is after 2pm. Since one it has just been straight rain without any snowfall.

It is a cozy day inside my apartment and I am relaxed within the calm of the day.

Another Storm

We are having yet another snow storm here in Queens, New York. One that is said to proceed into tomorrow sometime.

The news report stated it will go down to fifteen degrees later tonight.

The storm is not as bad as the last one a week ago, however, safety precautions were taken amongst city transportation, and so on.

Some people are without heat and hot water in certain areas the news also reported.

I canceled plans I had for tomorrow. This is the second time I had to do so because of these snow storms, but I am not at all complaining. Things happen for a reason sometimes.

Sunday Morning Chill

Late last night into the early morning after midnight I was in the middle of reading my scriptures .

The temperature within my apartment was quite hot to me (and I am not complaining I truly appreciate a thoroughly heated building during the cold winter days and nights) or it could have just been my own body heat within combination to the thermostat temperature.

Nevertheless, I opened up one of my windows to get a little fresh air to clear out any excess smothering heat.

Eventually I went to sleep, waking up from time to time to go to the bathroom, still feeling a comfortable temperature within the apartment with the window opened.

When I awoke after nine a.m. into ten a.m. I felt a cold chill. I had to get up to then close my window and I noticed I had also awoken to another morning of snowfall here for the third time in New York City. Well, actually, this is the fourth snow fall if I want to include the extremely light flurry we had back in early December.

Sunday Clouds

Now its completely cloudy again outside but the rain has not yet returned so far. It was beautiful outside earlier today.

I like spending certain days inside while the weather has precipitation it makes the environment distinctly cozy indoors with the blinds slanted and slightly raised with dim lighting shadowing the place.

I need this day of rest and relaxation as I’m constantly on the go with my job so I’m taking the time out to delight within the mix. I worked straight all last week with no weekend off but I had this weekend to make up for it.

Out For Lunch

For the first time this year I was able to take off my jacket and sweater for the nice weather yesterday as I went out to shop and eat. I won’t do it again, though, until the weather can be trusted because as usual today is cloudy and breezy, and who knows what tomorrow the unpredictable forecast will bring there is too constant a shift within the weather everyday.

Yesterday was just pleasant, regardless, and I spent the majority of it with the enjoyment outdoors.

I don’t eat out too often at restaurants as I use to (because preparing and cooking meals at home is much healthier and sanitary you definitely know the ingredients that is being inserted into your own food by your own hands) aside from the exception of from time to time buying food from the hot bar at Whole Foods.

A little after twelve p.m. we (a relative and I) entered into the restaurant in which we chose and ordered our lunch.

She had her lobster pizza (that is all that she wanted aside from her water and non alcoholic fruit drink), I had three baked potatoes, an order of fries, steamed broccoli, two fried pieces of flounder, some fried clams, and some fried scallions. I didn’t eat the fried shrimp that I had ordered because when I had bit into one of them It tasted like eggs were mixed into the coated batter and that butter had been sautéed into the preparation. I don’t eat dairy.

I stick to my natural vegetarian/vegan diet. It’s just once in a while or rarely that I go the pollo pescatarian route (one that absolutely does not eat any red meat or pork on a vegetarian diet modified enabling the consumption of seafood and poultry) and eat a little shrimp, fish, chicken or turkey.

Afterwards, we headed on home and I did some grocery shopping.
