I rode the exercise bike 🚲 for over an hour this evening , baked brownies 🎂 for the Christmas Party 🎄 tomorrow at work and had fish for dinner. 🐠 Kind of a cold evening plus I got watching the YouTube videos I downloaded 📼 so I decided to stay home 🏡. Today is one of the nights when my neighbor works night shift so it’s perfect for me to ride the bike when he’s not home so I’m not bothering him. Also did some cleaning up in the kitchen as it was getting a little bit dirty.

Maybe tomorrow I should go to the library 📚 and come up with some new content for the blog. But lately I’ve been running 🏃 low on ideas :idea:. I could make up more maps but I’m running low on New York lands and it’s kind of a lot of work to set up other states with their unique data on QGIS. It also is getting hard to come up with ideas for new things to graph 📊 after a while.
