A hot and sweaty start to July 😰

It was not a good night for sleeping. It didn’t seem so bad when I left the office but by the time I rode up the hill out of the hollar back to Delmar it was just hot and sticky.

As I had my laptop at home, 💻 and I had a conservation mapping project I was working on for a City Counciler, I went down to the cool of the library to work. Rarely do I have my laptop home, but I worked remote on Friday and had that mapping project, so I’ve my computer home but I’m going to take the bus in today, 🚌 and bring my laptop in. It would be miserable to ride in with the humidity, and I think there is a good chance of rain by evening. Or even getting caught in rain for the commute in.

So it’s back to the bus.Truth is the bus is kind of a pain with the transfer to the shuttle to the suburban office in Menands, But the air conditioning on the bus feels so nice after the sweltering night last night. I like the exercise riding the bike it but maybe tomorrow. I haven’t yet taken Thursday off but I’m still pretty inclined to do such thing. Maybe it won’t rain today, but regardless I do need to bring my laptop in and I don’t want to beat the shit out of it anymore then neccessary riding the bike in.

Last night and this morning almost wish I had air conditioning, though it was bareable by the air conditioning and I was at the library until closing time. If I didn’t have that project, I’d probably gone out to Five Rivers. Got my remaining borrows done for June on Hoopla, I’ll probably read through most of them during the long weekend, along with renewing some books on Libby. The thing about libby is it can be funky when you’re away from cell reception and app closes or crashes, and then it requires you to resynchronize with the network before it will let you have access to your books. After ruining too many paper library books, I only do electronic books now.

It will be good to get away. Do I spend too much time thinking about escapism and floating down the creek? Yes, but I get tired of my dirty old apartment and spending time working on data structures all day long in the suburban office building on the outskirts of the city. It will be fun, with the fireworks, a properly working phone, flip flops and hopefully the House Pond Campsite once again this weekend.
