It's the second half of November as the label job I ran today reminds me. 🏷️ The landscape is cold and barren, it's dark out for a good portion of day, and riding home in the dark isn't much fun. But you make the best of it, and I figure the extra sleep and time to learn isn't a bad thing. 🛌 Next adventure after Thanksgiving! 🦃 Hopefully the fire risk is down by then as I want to have a big bonfire in wilderness 🔥 after a good day riding trail or hiking. 🚶

Happy Friday! ☺️

Sun is shining and not so cold, I wasn’t going to ride in until I changed my mind. Even warmer than yesterday.

I’ve been continuing to ride in with the cold. 🚲 It’s the evenings I don’t love but the way I look at it, when I’m riding I get my exercise in and once I have dinner I can kill the lights and snuggle under the heated blanket for a long winters night. Going to warm up come the weekend though I doubt I’ll be able to keep my windows open. Looks like Albany might get a good rain 🌧️ the second half of next week.

It’s just been busy, busy busy at work 📃 and then come home and sleep. Tomorrow I need to get shopping 🛒 and probably up to Salvation Army to get shirts 👚 for work and drop off the big jeans 👖 and then riding in the Pine 🌲 Bush. Then get some food. I cooked up rice, red lentils and tomatoes with spices and corn for lunch and dinner bt my pantry is getting pretty bare. I made sure to limit the heat on the stove and crack open a window to keep from my flooding my apartment with moisture.

Heat is back off in my apartment, ♨ and I don’t see any see anything freezing weather in coming week so I’ll probably keep the heat off. If I’m cold, there is always the electric blanket and warm food and drink to eat. 🐮Used up the last of the milk in my coffee this morning, so I’ll need to get more before tomorrow morning. ☕ I haven’t decided if I will bring my laptop home this weeked, though I want to practice writing more C++ code this weekend and start a project I’ve been thinking of developed, 💻 though I’m also thinking about getting the soldering iron and making some Christmas decorations 🎄 for my office using USB connectors and LEDs and 555 chip. 🧑‍🔬
