Random lady selling mangoes near Grand Concourse. Times is rough yo, times is rough.

::: How many of you thought, before I had clarified the above content, that this might be a picture of myself selling mangoes in the middle of a sidewalk in the Bronx?

I’m always on the hunt for freebies and I stumbled onto this one today. Go to Golden Moon Tea, and you can request free samples of their tea! I personally ordered a sample of green tea, as you might have guessed.

::EDIT:: I found another one! Pacific Chai also offers free samples of their products.

It is so hot.? 96 degrees hot.? "Feels like 106" hot.? NYC hot isn’t even fun during the day (unless you’re at the beach or have a pool).? It’s sticky and ewwwww lol.? I would take littleQ to the mall so we could soak in the free AC, but mrQ has the car today.

We went out yesterday to get an AC, and whaddya know?? Every place except the P.C. Richards not so close to us is sold out of portable AC’s.? Well, at least someplace did have them at all, right?

I think I’m going to go crank that baby up and lay on the floor in front of it.? Tata.
