Good morning! Happy Friday.

Only get to say that two more times in August. A beautiful morning on my ride to the bus downtown. But I am so tired and worn out from this week. Just everything seems to be frying me, but I’m hopeful for a quieter weekend ahead.

Mostly sunny and 65 degrees at the Exit 23 – Albany (I-787). 😎 There is a north breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 55 degrees.

Tomorrow I will probably catch the Nature Bus up to Thacher Park. 🚌 Always a fun and relaxing day hiking and hammocking at Thacher Park. Pack a nice lunch, and it should be clear and not too humid. I still have a few books to finish up since vacation. I like the Nature Bus as it’s free and it means I am on a schedule so I get a nice early start.

Yesterday it was bringing more work home 💻 and working down at the library. This year work from home is something that I do after hours. Things have just been crazy at work and things just piled up further and further while I was on vacation.

What they don’t tell you about making more money is that the work levels also increase. 💵 But I’m still trying to save whatever I can for a better tomorrow but it’s hard with inflation and the markets in the capper. Interest rates on savings are up though and the market is up somewhat. But despite the extra money the future just seems further away.
