Good evening! Clear and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Nice evening but I’m tired 😴 achy and sore. 😫 I think it might be a cold or maybe it’s a sinus infection. Almost a bit flu like. I think part of it is I’m sleep deprived and all the time I’ve spent sleeping in my truck bed. Maybe I’m just seriously sleep deprived, I’ve had similar sickness before.

On that note, I did get my flu shot 💉 tonight on the way to the Guilderland Planning Board Meeting. It was quick in an out but another driver kind of blocked me in but using a lot of due care I was able to get out. 🅿 Lots of small swings and checking the mirrors. ⬛ I was worried about bumping another car but I knew if it was too tight I’d just have to wait. But I got out. Flu shot was quick and easy, didn’t sting a bit or make my arm 🙋 num like some years. I’m not blaming my achiness or sinuses on the flu shot as it was there before and I really wanted to get it done tonight. I’ve heard stories about people actually getting the flu and it’s no joke 🃏 – two weeks bedridden feeling like your going to die.

I had no food at home, I ended up cracking open a rusty can of chicken noodles soup with canned potatoes added 🍛and then I wanted something to dip in it so I ended up using corn bread 🍞 muffin mix in the waffle maker as I didn’t have time to bake even corn bread cupcake in the conventional oven. Worked out fine.

The planning board was everything I expected it to be. 🏫 They are moving forward on the DEIS and the plan. We’re continuing to work on our response. It is what is to be expected. Pines, probably pitch pine smelled wonderful in front of the Guilderland Town Hall.

I’m glad I’m back home 🏡 and can leave Big Red Parked for a few days. He needs a break. 🚘 As much as I like being out in the country 🐮 commuting a so stressful and such a time waste. I’d rather walk 🚶 or take a bus 🚍 where I need to go as bus time let’s me think 💭 and use my phone.
