Good evening! Rain and drizzle and 46 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a north-northwest breeze at 15 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear Saturday around 3 pm.

With the rain I decided it wasn’t a good night for my walk 🚶. Not only is it cold and wet its kind of dangerous crossing the road on such a poor visibility night, although traffic is a lot less. I did ride the exercise bike 🚲 for a while today watching one of the YouTube videos I downloaded yesterday.

Other than that I really quiet day at work. 💼 I wish I was busier at times, it’s really boring 💤 and kind of isolating to be home alone with no internet besides my phone and just day after day of rain ☔. I guess I could have gone for a walk earlier but it was pretty cloudy and gray.

Been actively working on a new theme for the blog 📝 that will give it a new look and feel. While I just rewrote a big portion of the code a few months back I’m still not happy with what I got – I want a more immersive design that better tells my story. Plus be more efficient and better able to fit the growing types of content I’ve been generating lately.

At least the weekend forecast looks better, especially Sunday. ☀ Probably go back out to Patridge Run and hike for most of the day Sunday. Then I’m still thinking about heading up to the Adirondacks on next Thursday through Easter. 🐰 I just need to get away. Unless of course it looks like it will snow or rain all next weekend. I’ll see. I’m just so tired of being home and visiting the same old parks all the time.
