May 8, 2016 Night

It seems like the weekend ended before it began. Then again time is always that way. The delights of Friday night become the horrors of Monday before you know it.

Partly to mostly cloudy this evening. At times you can see the stars pretty well. Other times, like driving home, the windshield was wet from rain showers. The wind has died down and it’s about 50 degrees. Going to be a cold night for the second week of May, with a low around 40. Normal low is around 45. Tomorrow should be a nice spring day for a Monday. Sunny with a high around 59. A bit below average – we normally run around 67, but I’ll take it. More seasonable warmth for the second half of the week.

Sitting out back, sipping on a bottle of Corona that’s not nearly cold enough with a lime that is not fresh enough. I just turned the temperature down a bit in the refrigerator. I turned it up a few weeks ago, as I hate listening to the crappy old refrigerator compressor burning through those expensive kilowatts unnecessarily. I should put the beer in the freezer in advance to get it ice cold. At least it’s nice enough to be out back. Coyotes are howling in the distance. For a Sunday evening I’m content.

I should go inside as I need to make my bed and put away my clothes. I finally did my sheets in the washer although to be fair, last week I was out of town. I always shower in the morning so they don’t have to be perfect. Bought extra milk as earlier in the day I bought the super big box of knock off Cheerios. Going to have cereal with fresh fruit and honey this weekend. I don’t like sugary cereals but heck yeah to adding honey and fresh or frozen natural fruits. I like frozen fruit as they are relatively cheap and come in relatively little packaging. I Iike things that has minimal packaging as its less I have to take to the transfer station or burn up in the woods. Healthy too. Once the farmers market has fresh fruit, I’ll buy it locally but from the supermarket, I’d rather just have it frozen where it’s ready out of the bag without washing.

This morning I discovered that my work email on my phone was consuming a lot of data. Some kind of glitch started Saturday. It burned through nearly 200 MB of bandwidth on its own in 24 hours. Fortunately, I have 5,000 MB a month and after disabling push data in the program in favor of pulling data every 5 minutes it acted fine. I never run over my data cap these days with 5 GB a month and WiFi throughout the building I work plus WiFi at the park and library. Plus I plan to camp places without data service, which means days with no or minimal data use.

The weekend has ended. Good night.
