Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. 😩

I don’t know, I didn’t mind the free-three day weekend we got out of it though with the snow and ice storm on Friday. I certainly liked sleeping in and doing no work on Friday. I could have worked from home, but it was an extraordinary day, and I am sure for people who got the ice it was a lot worse then for me who just missed his Friday walk and bitched about having to crack the ice off my windshield on Sunday.

Mostly cloudy and 16 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There are 4 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 11 am. 🌡️

Cold but not that cold start of this morning. ❄️ It’s still winter so that’s to be expected. I can take a 15 degree morning over a below zero day. That 15 degrees doesn’t seem like a big difference but it really is as the heat has to work much harder to keep things much warmer at 0 degrees then 15, and it’s just a whole lot more comfortable with the warmer weather.

Tonight I really should go grocery shopping 🍇 but I don’t know if it’s going to happen because I want to wash my truck but the roads can’t be covered with sleet, snow or just wet and me be washing my truck. But I am really low on food so I have be very creative for dinners and lunch. But I’ll make due if I can’t get out tonight. There is always the possibility that I’ll have to work late, but I have my doubts about that tonight. I guess only time will show about that point. 🏢

Then it’s just normal stuff, ironing my shirt 👩‍💼 and muzzles 😷 getting ready for the week ahead. I don’t think there will be any surprise 3-day weekends coming up, but you have to enjoy it while you can. I wonder what a shit storm the roads are still in Albany, but I don’t care, as the bus 🚌 will get me downtown regardless.

It’s good that the bus was running late, 🚏 as I was running late as I realized the clock was set incorrectly  on my computer and I didn’t realize how late it was this morning. But the bus also was running late because of the snow narrowing down the streets in Albany with cars parked halfway out to the yellow line and roads being a little over a lane wide. No snow emergency this time, not enough snow, but lots of ice to make it hard for drivers get near the curb.

Yesterday, I went out to Five Rivers and skied for about an hour and a half. ⛷ I decided to stay close to home as I wasn’t sure how bad the roads were going to be out in the Heldebergs and I had basically no fuel in my truck. ⛽ I still don’t have any gas — maybe 30 miles or two gallons left — but I will get that the next time I go shopping. It actually warmed up a bit and was sunny mid-day and skiing was nice at Five Rivers. Plus I was a bit worried about trying to get too aggressively out on the hills. I haven’t skied in a year, and my skis are really designed for groomed, tracked ski trails and on the steep downhills can really fly.

Then I went out to my parents house for Sunday dinner. 🍽 I was a pretty good dinner of pork roast and red cabbage. 🥩  It was good, I probably eat too much 🌝 but I did go for my evening walk, skipped lunch and skiied for a couple of hours yesterday. ⛷
