Hot here

It’s in the mid-80s here and though I don’t want to be home I really don’t want to venture out anywhere because it takes a long time for me to get to a bus or a train.
And I certainly don’t want to wander the streets.
But being home is getting to me.
My mood is starting to go down.
And it’s only a bit after 1pm.
Sure I have laundry to do and the floors could use some dusting, if not washing, but I just can’t be bothered with that right now.
Tomorrow it will be closer to 90.
My mom and her friend want to drive somewhere and they want me to pick a place for us to go.
She said they want to go somewhere that doesn’t require a lot of driving.
Will see what I can find, though not sure what exactly to put into the Google search.

With you there Lena it's bound to be hot.
I hope that I can help improve your mood.
It's too hot to go out.
Even if being indoors is getting to you
So talk to me instead.
And we will both be uplifted

My mood is a bit better. I’m sitting on the boardwalk with my mom and her friend.

I seem to have found something. Not sure if they’ll wanna go there. It’s a national park that has waterfalls. There is no bathroom facilities, but they seem to have a portable toilet that is available only until 4pm.

It's been hot here too. It's supposed to rain on Monday. I hope the weather app is right.
I would put just that in the search. Locals where you don't have to drive much.

Let's see there's Atlantic City, further driving the Catskills, and not sure what else I can think of perhaps Long Island?

My mom told me she was thinking of a park where you can also sit down and maybe eat something you brought with you. I found a park in New Jersey that also has waterfalls and there are tables there where you can sit down and eat. Doesn’t seem like it’s far from where we live. Will see what they say.

You can always text or call me when you're feeling lonely. I'd love to talk to you. I hope you find somewhere to go.

@lovebuglena I'm up usually all night, so any time is fine.

I hope you find somewhere nice to go. I'm sure it's a bit lonely staying in the house all day on your own.
