January 27, 2020 Morning
Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Gotta make that money 💵 although not a pay week this week but I have great faith I’ll be paid next week. Two weeks to Clean Your Computer Day 🧹. With there being so much hard drive space these days, does anybody really have to clean their computer? 💻
Snow flurries, cloudy, gray, damp and 36 degrees at the Valero just waiting for the bus to take me to work. ❄ Calm wind. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around noontime. ☃️
Catching the later bus 🚍 to work because I never know with this bus and having to punch 👊 the clock 🕒 on time each morning. The truth is with manually filled in time cards you could get away with being a few minutes late and nobody would ever know. 💁 I did set my alarm for 6:30 but I reset it a few times. I’m bad I know and I had to iron my shirt 👚. But I did have a nice pan of eggs 🍳 for breakfast, one of the last of the fresh ones from my parents, as some kind of varmint finished off their chickens 🐔 and they don’t want to have chickens now as they’re planning on spending the summer traveling. 🚢
Today will be scattered snow showers, mixing with rain after 9am, then gradually ending. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a high of 42 degrees at 2pm. 11 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 10th. Light and variable wind becoming west 9 to 14 mph in the morning.
