“Your house is on fire, and your children, they will burn” 🧑‍🚒

It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring. That said, they are much too gleeful about that line in song on this ever so wet Monday. Maybe because it’s a Monday, and rain is a good thing, so things will green up and not burn well except for those things we want to burn. Fuck the liberals and the Trumpster.

Up early this morning, 🚌 busing it in with the rain. I might catch the early express downtown so I can walk laps 👣 on the Plaza in the morning before work. I figure with the rain I won’t be able to ride in or even walk around the neighborhood without getting wet, ☔ so it’s best to plan to do it inside. Carrot 🥕 pancakes with blueberries and bananas, 🥞 sleep pretty well though I did wake up pretty early 🛏️ but I was asleep before 8 PM last night. Early in the morning, a whole bunch of pollen came in with breeze and it stunk briefly. I don’t have allegeries, as I spent so much time hanging out in barn 🐐 and in woods 🪵 as a kid 👦🏻 but it was pungent briefly. Not too achy from the rain, so that’s good. In a decent mood too, and my goal is not to fuck too many things up at work this week. No pushing mystery buttons 🔘 on software programs like last week. 🤖 It all worked out fine, once I apologized to deputy head programmer and explained I actually didn’t need that report printed. 🖨️

Yesterday was fine, I got out to Five Rivers, 🐸 did some reading and visited the folks. Emptied out the slop bucket full of compost, washed my clothes. Tacos 🌮 at the folks house. Came home and got my winter clothes put away and my summer clothes out, though I really need to go through the stuff in the attic and get rid of some of the worn out clothes and stuff that don’t fit – either the clothing recycling dumpster or donate the stuff that is in good shape. 👖 I also went through the box of stuff I hauled out of my old office last year and some of my old files, and pulled out the paper 📄 an old records that I plan to recycle ♻️ into carbon dioxide that next time I have a fire. 🔥 Maybe this weekend.

That said, next weekend is looking increasingly crappy, 🌦️ especially Friday night but we’ll see. Might still want to do a hike in Catskills then camp overnight somewhere. 🏕️ I don’t have to be back any time in particular on Sunday, so I can have a full day of adventure then. Nature Bus starts up on Memorial Day Weekend, so every other weekend I’ll have the option of spending the day at Thacher Park for free, 🏞️ assuming that I don’ t break shit on my bike riding trail up there.
