Good morning! Happy Thursday. 💧

Should I go for my morning walk I asked myself? No it’s absolutely pouring out. I get a second cup of coffee and decide it’s not that bad, go outside and get absolutely soaked and now the wind is absolutely whipping around.

Rain and 71 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south-southeast breeze at 11 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 25 mph 💨💨💨. The dew point is 65 degrees. The muggy weather ends tomorrow around 7 am. 😓.

The past few days I’ve been feeling quite sick 🤮 but I’ve been putting on the muzzle and getting on with life, heading to work and hiding behind my desk. Getting to be earlier last night helped a bit. 🚶 I didn’t walk yesterday morning but I did this morning. 🌅 I got up actually relatively early today for a change but I am running a few minutes late as I chewed over walking in the pouring rain.

I think part of the problem is that I’m staying up too late, which seems to be a bigger problem in the winter months 🌃 as artificial light replaces the stars ✨ and I find myself indoors more. But I also was tired after my trip to the Adirondacks. I am just bothered by summer coming to an end, despite my denial of autumn 🍂 floating in the tube 🔘 in the very cold water last week. I don’t know if it’s really that I’m sick or the anxiety or I that I hate mornings when I have to go to work, but so be it.

Plus lately, I’ve been so generally unwilling to address the problem in my life, 🙄 the truck first and foremost. I need to paint and sand the rust spot and figure out what I’m going to do with the tires – I have the alignment scheduled. I want to get to West Virginia. I am still chewing over getting new 35s or putting the stock tires back on — I just need to decide and make an appointment somewhere for that. I should do it soon though, as it will take a while to order the tires and who knows how backed up things are.
