I finally broke down and got groceries this evening. πŸ₯žπŸ–πŸ₯ͺI hadn’t bought anything since I got beer 🍻 on vacation on Friday and I was even running low on the most basics at home. Also got toilet 🚽 paper, which is in stock easily now at much stores. I go through more toilet paper when I camp as the rolls tend to get damp, muddy or damaged and I think I often poop more at camp between the beer and the extra coffee I drink. πŸ’©

I was going to shop when I was going to go over to John Wolcott’s house but that didn’t happen because I had this mailer πŸ“ I was looking at for work and I was puzzling on how to edit some of the language on it. I’ll work on it more in the morning.

I have been really bad about updating the blog lately πŸ’» but life has been so busy and non stop πŸ—“οΈever since vacation came to a close.

Still thinking πŸ’­ about camping πŸ• this weekend and doing some swimming πŸŠπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ if I can find time.

I am a little disappointed with the graniness of the camera πŸ“Έ I’m my new smartphone, that said it’s still impressive even if it’s not a fancy iPhone. Technology is getting much better these days. Still thinking about getting a clip on telephoto lens πŸ”­ for my phone because it might be fun.
