Warm enough this morning that the windows are open. I do like fresh air. I sleep so much better with the windows open, although it was cold yesterday, so I ended up closing them before bed. I woke up early, had to go to the bathroom and do a poopy and then I had trouble getting back to bed. I usually don’t have pasta for dinner, but sometimes when I do I have too much. It was a good dinner though. Still haven’t gotten to the store, but I should so I can deposit my stimulus check and get some cash and groceries. I am kind of waiting at this point though as what I buy may vary based on whether or not I go camping this weekend, which depends on how much snow they get up north and if I have to work this weekend. I could wait another week, as I don’t see any snow lasting that much longer.
