Not the worse morning ever 🌄but I’m well aware it’s still early March and it will only get warmer through July. It’s March and we might still get some final gasps of winter but it can’t hold out for long.
Mornings are noticeably brighter now 🔆 that is when the sun is shinning. That said it’s right in my eyes 👀 on the Delmar bypass which is obnoxious. It only gets worse come spring though in a little over a week things will be dark unless I push my morning walk back to 6:45 which I might have to for a few weeks. 🐦 I can hear the Red Winged black birds out so that’s a sign of spring 🌸.

Another morning stumbling along for my morning walk 🚶. I don’t know why I’ve been in such a haze the past few days but I have in the morning. It’s not a bad morning, I thought I slept fairly well 🛏 and was in bed a little after nine 9⃣ though I ended up studying Post GIS and using address ranges to extrapolate address from position for reverse geocoding.

Yesterday evening truth be told, 🤮 I wasn’t feeling well but I’m fine this morning as I slowly but surely wake myself up walking 🚶. I’m running a bit late for my morning walk having not got started until 6:20. But today is a breakfast reheat day 🥞 so I should be good for time. Worse comes to worse I won’t walk all the way to the Park and Ride and instead catch the express bus somewhere on Elm.

Again plan on getting as many steps as possible in early 👣 As who knows what the era will bring come the evening. Lately they’ve been so pessimistic at the metrological Bureau.

Grabbed my hoodie and headed out and then took it off. 😰 Only a few more hours of the warmth though before the mercury starts dropping.

But April is like 45 days off a fact I’m sure my friends in the government budget office are well aware of.

No rain yet ☔ but I’d say there is a decent chance I’ll taking the bus from the stop closest to where I live at 8 though who knows. Often they are overly pessimistic when it comes to rain. There are a ton of dog 🐶 walkers out bright and early today. Probably because it’s so mild.

It was nice taking the express bus 🚍 both ways to work today on a session dress up day. That said the morning bus was running late and then the ramp getting onto 787 was closed due to construction. But it beats taking the local. As planned I got off at the Plaza to get a few extra steps in.
