Back in the city at least for a few days π¨βπΌ
It wasn”t a bad ride downtown this morning with all the ordinary smells and obnoxious of it all. But alas I can’t work from the wilderness every day, as I have inperson meetings on Tuesdays and Thursday. But it was a pleasant four days with a decent amount of color, though that is fading fast.
That yummy smell of sewage treatment plant and Menands in the morning. I actually didn’t miss that smell much in wilderness. I do think I need a stronger smelling candle for the office as the lemon scent isn’t cutting it this morning. I’ll have to look at either scented candles or maybe some essential oils to add to the candle wax, which boils off much too quickly.
It was a nice ride in, and it’s sort of nice to be working back my desk again. I am not arguing against working from the passenger seat of my pickup or the hammock in the wilderness, but the internet is more reliable and faster in the office, and there is always a bathroom nearby which is good after I drink too much strong coffee.
After all the bills I got and paid last weekend, I am a soldier in the war on poverty, πͺ πΈ and this week isn’t a pay week, but this weekend at least if I do head out of town, I’m not planning to go far, maybe Rensselearville State Forest but only if t doesn’t look like a box of rain. So I can avoid stores and fuel as much as possible. And save some money. Not that camping has been that expensive, though I have driven a fair amount of miles and burned a fair amount of fuel.
