Good morning! Happy December. 🤶

The final month of the year is upon us. Soon we’ll have to start updating our calendars to 2023. And then a few months of winter before things start to warm up once again. Usually though the winter months are busier at work and I find ways to keep things moving forward as I wait for spring time to arrive.

Partly cloudy around the freezing point at the Swift Wetland Preserve. 🌤️ Calm wind.

I was running 🏃 a bit late this morning so I decided to go for a walk in Swift Wetland Preserve near my apartment rather than the super block around the High School 🚸 as there is less traffic 🚥 and carbon monoxide there and I have more control over the length of the hike there doing laps. I think I’ll still be able to get my steps in if I walk at lunch time and maybe a few more around the plaza.

Not as cold as I expected so things are a bit muddy 👢 at the preserve but that’s fine. It’s better when things are more frozen, though they have a lot of bridges and boards over the wettest part of the preserve. Even though the preserve is right next door, I haven’t been there in like in a year, because I normally do my bigger hike around the woods or the super block around the school

I am waiting to hear about jury duty service this afternoon 👨‍⚖️ as that will impact what my plans are for next week and which days I take off. It looks like when we get past Tuesday next week, we should have a good weather for a change, with quite a bit of sun but maybe seasonably cold. But I have a several days I should take off or I will loose them before at end of the year, and I can’t take off any of the last week because the other director is off.
