Good evening! Rain showers and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Calm wind. 0.03 inches of rain is expected before it ends tomorrow around 1 am. Not a big storm just enough to wet the pavement.

I am feeling slightly better. 😒 Not as achy and I’ve pretty much done well hiding how sick I’ve felt all day. Final day on one chapter in life, another one next week. New adventures are always fun 🎢 and it’s a great chance to advance my future. Sometimes though this week I have the chills. And the amount I sweat 😰 at times even in my bedroom with the heat off makes me sure I have a fever. But this week I couldn’t afford to just hide under my covers and be sick all week. I packed lunch but with my sick stomach and the fact that I left my fork 🍴 home I didn’t eat it until I got home.

Tonight I went to the presentation 🎥 of Extinction Rebellion at the Bethlehem Public Library. 📚 I had no idea what the group was about but I knew it involved climate change 🌎 and I thought it would be interesting on Friday evening. Should I have stayed home and rested? Surely. But I learned a lot about this civil disobedience group👮 and was reminse once again how dire the crisis is and how content we all are plug our ears. 🙉 Dramatic action is needed but families are busy 👪 and they don’t want to give up their television 📺 and cars 🚙. But maybe protests will get people talking. I do hate it when they delay my commute home and I’m hungry through.

Tonight will be sprinkles likely before midnight, then a chance of light rain between midnight and 2am. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 44 degrees at 4am. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 4th. Light northwest wind. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

The plan tomorrow is to Early Vote on Saturday around 11 am and then head up to Troy to canvas ✊ for David Bissember. ☑ If there is a line at the polling place I’ll come back Monday. Then maybe walk along the Mohawk Hudson Bike 🚲 trail I’m thinking 💭. I don’t plan on getting an early start as I want to get as much rest as possible. 😴
