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

Only a three day work week with Thanksgiving coming up. Kind of an odd year, Election Day was late and Thanksgiving early.

Mostly sunny and 19 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ Things will start to thaw out at around 11 am. 🌡️

It might be cold ❄ on the thermometer but without much wind 🍃 it feels nice. Walking 🚶 at six fifty this morning because it’s dark earlier and I felt like having breakfast 🥣 first. Traffic is a lot heavier this hour, though probably less then it would be if it wasn’t the week before Thanksgiving.

Yesterday was kind of a cold one. ♨️ I actually got kind of chilled through at home in the morning. I probably shouldn’t have left the heat at 50 degrees, with the wind whipping around outside. I tried to fix the air leaks around my door the best I could but my apartment kind of sucks. It’s cheap and I don’t like spending much on heat. I do like that electric blanket and look forward to some point when I have cabin with a wood stove. Always trying to save a little extra money, with inflation and the markets being down so much. 📉

I went out and visited Mom and Dad and we had a nice pot of chilli for lunch. 🥘 It was a good meal with things being so cold. Then I went home, and did some more reading and put my clothes away before going out for my morning walk.

Regardless, I enjoyed my quiet walk out on Saturday to Five Rivers 🚶‍♀️ and that trail behind the Mansions in Delmar. The Fisher Trail is a different way to get out there, a few additional steps and there is sidewalks, which is nice, except for getting run-over by the yuppie joggers. I hope the greater accessibility of Five Rivers to the suburbanite developments doesn’t mean it becomes over-run by the joggers and families with screaming babies like Albany County Rail Trail.
