Should be a really nice day but with the dark and gray morning before the time change, 🌫️ I woke up so groggy and struggled to get going. 😴 I don’t think I’m sick but I’m just kind of worn out about the go go go work schedule, although at least I’m still working remotely. No Zoom Meetings today so I’ll work at home using my phone or laptop. 🤓That said, if it’s really nice out, I might bring my personal laptop down to the library to work and play a bit. 💻

Pancakes 🥞 for breakfast today but it was kind of a working breakfast 🖥️☕ having my coffee while replying to work emails 📧. But it was totally my fault for staying in bed much too late 🛏 before getting started on my day. It’s going to tonight when I’m working at work every day.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 74 degrees at 3pm. 16 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 12th. Maximum dew point of 61 at 12pm.

The record high of 81 was set in 1979. 0.2 inches of snow fell back in 1926.❄

Tonight is the virtual Pine Bush Dinner 🦋 but the lasagna is never the same and I’m not a big fan of listening 👂🏻 to the program over the phone 📱. I guess I could get internet 💻 at home but so be it. I don’t mind driving 🚘 down to the library and many days I can just work using my phone if things aren’t too data intensive. 📶 And when the weather is nice, camp ⛺ and travel.

I am thinking maybe I should take a long weekend out of town 🤔 maybe leaving Thursday morning based on the forecast but I don’t know. I feel like I just was camping. Where to go next? Truth be told if I do head out of town I’ll probably spend more time fielding calls and doing work then having fun out in the woods although I had a good week last weekend.
