Good morning!

I slept like shit last night 🤪 because I didn’t have any sleeping pills 💊 and I’m increasingly dependent on them to stay asleep during the winter months when I can’t have the windows open. I think I was also was just quite disturbed by how packed both the Albany Pine Bush and Crossgates Maul were during the pandemic. 🌲 At least the judge through us a pretty good bone when it comes to Saving the Pine Bush although I’m sure the Pyramid scheme and its enablers will appeal immediately 🚧 and it’s the fight of the twenties.
