Not a terribly cold day but the morning was a bit chilly and the afternoon got cloudy ⛅. I stayed home except for a walk to the park ⛲ and watched some videos, scrolled through Facebook 📜, listened to some podcasts and worked on some little project’s. 🐰 Kind of odd not seeing family 👪 for Easter but so be it.

Not going to be a real nice day tomorrow ☁ but so be it. I do need to get to the laundromat and the post office ✉ to get stamps. And who knows how busy work will be on Monday, I expect it to pick up like last week but who knows in these crazy 😜 times. Might be good for the weekend for camping ⛺ but only time will tell. I need to get groceries too, I’m hoping Tuesday maybe to go to Rennselear and hike a bit after work and go to Aldi. The thing is they close at 7 pm so I have to plan appropriately. But they’re so fast and efficient to shop 🏪 and the money saved along with the ease of the small store makes it worth it. I hope I don’t get soaked down at the post office if we get driving rain.
