Earlier in the day it was quite humid but now the dew point has dropped. I went for my evening π walk a despite feeling a bit achy again.
Today was another busy day at work, πΌ which didn’t help that I went to the Haitian Day at the LOB and managed to spill food on my jacket and pants. Fortunately, I wasn’t wearing my good jacket. I’m going to have to drop it off at the dry cleaner. Not tomorrow though as I have to vote β in the school πΈ election and I don’t want to leave my truck at the Park and Ride as it’s Brewers Association night at the LOB and it would be nice to have a few drinks π» and not have to drive at all.
