Going to need to turn on my beloved brass lamp when I get into the office. Definitely not riding my bike to work today but I will try to get in early so I can walk in the Plaza for a while before work. I’ve had my work email turned off on my phone, I can only imagine the size of the research production book since the week I was gone.

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Got to go back and chase the money, lol. 😂 Rain and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Wednesday around 11 pm. ☃️

I am glad fresh homemade bread 🍞 is cooking this morning as is pea soup. 🍲 Also honey butternut squash and another squash I got at Annuto’s yesterday. 🍏 Apple – banana – oatmeal 🍌 pancakes 🥞 are cooking. Going to be a good breakfast. If time wasn’t so tight I probably would have cooked many of those things in West Virginia but I did not. Such a dark morning but with good eats. 😋

Today will rain before 2pm, then a chance of showers, mainly between 2pm and 5pm. Patchy fog before 10am. 🌧 High of 48 degrees at 1pm. Eight degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 18th. Calm wind becoming northwest 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

This evening 🌃 I need to get to the laundromat 👖 and wash the dirty clothes from camp and get groceries. I could have gone yesterday but I was dog 🐶 tired 😴 and I figured the laundromat is always packed on Sunday evening. Still tired today but so be it.

Might be a great weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 58. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 59. Typical average high for the weekend is 54 degrees. That said I’m not taking off next Monday for a long weekend to Madison County until I have better confirmation of the weekends weather.
