Busy day today and it’s raining out 🌧️ so no morning walk. 🚷 But that’s fine this morning started with an issue I fortunately caught but didn’t catch until late into process 🤯 but it’s all good now. The a big pile of work 📥 hit my desk but I’m good now. More to do but shit 💩 is getting done.

I thought I left my Bluetooth laptop adapter and USB travel hub at the library yesterday 📚 but I didn’t. I found it. Fell out at home. 🏡 I do need to fix the hole in my bag 🛄.

Today will rain, mainly after 11am. 🌧 High of 53 degrees at 11am. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 2nd.

I have a midday Zoom Meeting 💼 so I’ll have to go down to the library after lunch and it’s not a real nice day but it will be fine for working from my truck 🚚. Not too hot at least. 🚿 I should shave and shower today. I still haven’t put my contacts in yet. 👀 Been busy working from home. 🏡

I think I may go out to Madison County 🐮 tomorrow although I doubt 🤷‍♂️ I’ll go as far as Stoney Pond and Cazenovia as that’s a long trip and I’m going to head home either Sunday or Monday. ⛺ I do need to figure out where I can find a library to work from for the Zoom Meeting on Monday. The weather isn’t going to be perfect 👌🏻 but good enough come the weekend.
