With today’s heavy rain, a bus was stuck in the mud of the soft shoulder along Delaware Ave across Village Drive. They had the big wrecker our there towing it out around 9 pm tonight.

Did my evening walk and went down to the library. I got dad a gift certificate for his birthday. There was a cop sitting out on Elm at the Bypass but he was already reported on Waze before I could do it. Got in about 5 miles of walking in today, which isn’t bad for a weekday.

I have to admit I have already gotten into the habit of watching the PBS Newshour and other TV programs. I generally don’t just watch TV but instead I ended up either cooking or working on my phone or laptop at the same time.

Got my wireless keyboard set up, so when I download videos to my laptop I can control the play of them without getting out of bed. This is kind of nice. The wireless keyboard was only like $28 including free shipping, and makes watching YouTube videos from bed a delight.

Today was a rough day at work Ripping my contact lens made things worse, and I messed up a few things but I survived for yet another day. Friday will hopefully not that bad.

I’m still looking forward to camping on the Adirondacks this weekend but tomorrow I will have to make a final decision than pack if that’s what I decide to do. It would be fun to camp every month of the year this year but with my work schedule, only God knows if that’s realistically possible.

I hope you had a good day. Sleep well!
