Good evening! Cloudy and 38 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 1 am. ☃️
I got home this evening and was feeling kind of sick again. 😩 Achy and tired. Not sure what’s wrong again and I should have made the doctors appointment today but I was busy and had a headache. Skipped my evening walk 🚶 although I did ride the exercise bike 🚲 for a while. I thought about going to the library but I’ll probably do that tomorrow. If it’s raining I’ll probably drive down to the library and go to the store after that. 🏪 I do need to get milk for my coffee ☕ tomorrow – I’m totally out of moo juice 🐮 right now.
One good thing was that my contact lenses arrived today. 👀 I was surprised they approved them as I was pretty sure my prescription was expired but I didn’t want to go to the eye doctor. I will go the next time I need contacts to the doctor to ensure my eyes are healthy but a yearly contact lens exam seems a bit excessive when I can see fine and my eyes aren’t irritated – plus the price had come down sufficiently on the contacts I wear that it’s a pretty big savings compared to the eye doctors co-pay and spending time with that pushy miserable business and then going work with dilated pupils unable to see anything in the office. 🏢
Tonight will have a chance of rain, mainly after 3am. Patchy fog before 3am, then patchy fog after 5am.

Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent 🌒 Moon with 59% illuminated. At dusk you’ll see the moon in the south-southeast (149°) at an altitude of 47° from the horizon, some 250,920 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 Moon is a lot closer to earth 🌎 than last night. Well, at least 1,000 miles closer.

The record high of 64 was set in 1950. 8.8 inches of snow fell back in 2003.❄
Should be a good day for washing my truck and going shopping 🏪 and maybe down to the library. 📚 Sunday definitely will be the best day of the weekend.
At least in the near future it looks like January will be a mild one ♨without much snow. Pattern could change before the end of winter but let’s be honest – once we get into February we can have bitterly cold weather but by the end of month it gets hard for the cold to stick around, especially as the sun angle increases as spring gets nearer.
In four weeks on January 31 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (247°) at 5:06 pm,🌄 which is 32 minutes and 46 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had cold, sunny and temperatures between 14 and -3 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 32 and 15 degrees. The record high of 58 degrees was set back in 1913.
I’ve so gotten into watching trapping videos online. 🐺 It is really a good way to make a little money 💵 in the woods while supporting healthy eco systems and maintaining a balance of wildlife. I am sure if I had my own land 🚜 and more of a place to clean and store pelts I would do a lot more. Maybe eventually when I own my off grid property.
I am tired 😴 and don’t feel great. 💤I should really get some sleep and be in no rush to get going tomorrow. And maybe going forward plan to get a sleep by ten 🔟.
Looking ahead, Wolf Moon 🌕 is in 1 weeks, Save the Pine Bush Turns 42 🦋 is in 5 weeks, Valentines Day ❤️ is in 6 weeks, 7 PM Sunset 🌆 is in 10 weeks, Spring 🌷 is in 11 weeks, Good Friday ✝️ is in 14 weeks, May 🕊 is in 17 weeks, 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ is in 22 weeks, Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 10 months.
