I actually bought two pounds of non organic tofu, something I’m a bit horrified about but I’m really looking to lower cost, healthy meats and substitutes. I’d love to work more rabbit into my diet but it’s an expensive boutique meat in America unless you hunt or raise them because adult children in America think they’re cute not dinner.

Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 40 degrees in Delmar for the evening walk. โ˜ Calm wind. ๏ธIt’s quarter to eight and not pitch black out which is nice for a change.

I am a fan of the time change ๐Ÿ•’ even if I didn’t get out walking ๐Ÿšถ early enough tonight to do it in the daylight after Sunday dinner with the folks house. ๐Ÿฒ Homemade beef stew which was good but heavier than I eat recently. As much as I like dairy and meat I’ve been cutting way back for health and financial reasons.

After dinner I went to Walmart and stocked up on fruits and vegetables ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿฅฆ and unpacked. I was going to wash off my truck but I didn’t think I could get home without more salt splashing on it. ๐Ÿ’ฆ I’ve only driven 40 miles since I washed it.

Will we get one more last hurrah for winter ๐ŸŒจ before its done for the season on Monday evening into Tuesday? Who knows but I’m the first one to admit that my 54 day run of more than 10,000 steps may come to an end tomorrow. All things come to an end. That said I’m now thinking about taking a fifty mile hike this summer. The steps aren’t a problem – I do that many weeks but I would have to build up my back for carrying a pack. Plus I would have to plan a route and get used to doing more hills. I could camp in the hammock with a mosquito net. I’m hoping to shed some pounds this spring time.

It should be a nice Monday, โ˜บ even if I do have to work ๐Ÿข in my office downtown. I should be able to get in quite a few steps in ๐Ÿ‘ฃ and do my best to enjoy the day. Not a session day until Wednesday ๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ผ but also not a pay week. But since I’ve been eating healthier and less my food bills have been less. ๐Ÿ I put in $40 in fuel โ›ฝ in my truck and did a four minute wash ๐Ÿšฟ yesterday but it will be parked ๐Ÿ…ฟ until Sunday so I’m not going to be burning fuel.

I am bringing in a big load of fresh fruit for my office ๐Ÿ as I was running low by the second half of the week last week. Usually keep the frozen fruit for home and the fresh stuff for work where I don’t have a freezer. Always like to he nibbling on it through out the day to keep my blood sugar ๐Ÿš level so I’m not so hungry and wanting a big meal when I get home.

Today in 1857, Supreme Court of the United States rules in the Dred Scott v.

The snow storm ๐ŸŒจ that was yesterday is pretty much just as memory as the snow melts away. At least in the city, I bet it will be gone tomorrow. Just the mud left. Maybe we will get more rain or snow later in the week but I don’t think it will last. I think we are passed that based on the statistics but I know there are always outliers.

The dire emergency snowstorm really wasn’t a big deal ๐ŸŒฒthough some tree branches came down though I don’t think many people lost power ๐Ÿ”Œ but what do I know, I don’t really listen to the radio ๐Ÿ“ป much for the news ๐Ÿ“ฐ. That said, I’ve been updating my music ๐ŸŽถ collection and now I’ve moved on to the seventies with getting a John Prine record ๐Ÿ’ฟ to add to my collection. Much more up to date than the Weavers.

Not the worse morning ever ๐ŸŒ„but I’m well aware it’s still early March and it will only get warmer through July. It’s March and we might still get some final gasps of winter but it can’t hold out for long.

Mornings are noticeably brighter now ๐Ÿ”† that is when the sun is shinning. That said it’s right in my eyes ๐Ÿ‘€ on the Delmar bypass which is obnoxious. It only gets worse come spring though in a little over a week things will be dark unless I push my morning walk back to 6:45 which I might have to for a few weeks. ๐Ÿฆ I can hear the Red Winged black birds out so that’s a sign of spring ๐ŸŒธ.
