I’m working from home so not a big deal 🏑 but I do need to walk down to the library later. The weekend still looks good πŸŠπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ so I might go out to Schoharie for two days but that’s not a big deal to plan on out. I probably won’t need anything special for supplies.

Good Morning – August 19, 2021

Good morning! Happy Thursday. It is pouring out this morning. β˜”

No morning walk 🚢🏻 today, it’s much too wet. That’s fine, I’ve been staying up too late lately, and needed to sleep πŸ› in a bit this morning to get caught up.

Rain and 74 degrees in Delmar, NY. β˜” There is a southeast breeze at 10 mph. πŸƒ. The dew point is 72 degrees. Definitely a wet morning. πŸ’¦The skies will clear Saturday around 9 am.

The plan for today is to work from home 🏑 although I do need to get to the library and return some library books πŸ“š. I think I can work entirely today using my phone πŸ“± and transferring files using it, πŸ“‚ I will have hot spot service once again come Saturday. I got my $20 replacement phone in the mail today, I am going to activate it tomorrow. Or maybe once it’s charged I can just swap the sim card and SD card although I will still have to reinstall all the apps on the Wi-Fi tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have multiple Zoom meetings though the day, πŸ“Ή I am probably going to drive down to the library and work down there all day. The alternative is working in the office 🏒 downtown but I don’t feel like going in the office tomorrow I don’t think.

Finally been going through my pictures from last weekend and even vacation πŸ– and will start to upload more of them during the coming days.
