It was a Wednesday. 💻Modestly busy day but I think I’m wrapping up the Save the Pine Bush project and I even went for my evening walk 🚶 and I didn’t get rained on. Not real hot but muggy this evening. But still I’ve been missing my walk lately so it was nice for a change. Yesterday, I also went for a nice little walk in the Albany Pine Bush Preserve.

I really got to get back in the habit of walking more. 🚶 It just seems like lately I’ve become so lazy. It’s in part though because I get busy but I also need to set out more time for exercise. It’s been kind of hot lately but soon it will be September cooling down and I want to be in decent shape for hiking more.

Yesterday after hiking in the Pine Bush I went shopping at Market 32 in Guilderland. 👝 I bought a few groceries but it seemed kind of pricey there so I held off buying a lot of things – just enough through the weekend. I was annoyed that most of their pasta sauce was in glass – which doesn’t really get recycled and is a pain to wash out. Plastic is so much easier, especially if I end up taking it to camp with me.
