Thin Ice

.
.
.
Today was bright, sunny, n chilly, n I slept thru most of it. Having less sleep n money recently is really wearing me down. I got up n out in the last hour of daylight for errands.
.
First, I checked the B-cove for signs of ice. The tide left a thin sheet like glass high n dry ontop of the marsh grass until the water returns.
.
I wanted a pic of some of the ducks n geese sitting on the B-cove's ice, but they took off the moment they saw me coming down the path toward the water. Birds tend not to come out well on my cam, anyways. The ice hasn't built up much this week, or it'd be white out there.
.
.After picking up the mail I took a walk around the village pier at sundown. The colors were subdued without clouds to reflect upon. I'm grateful to get some sunshine on my face, n enough time, n ambition to explore n click a few.
.
Air pressure was put in a low tire at the gas station, then a short trip to the market for supplies was accomplished. Finally, I tracked down the state tax forms at the library, open until 8 pm today, where I haven't been in awhile. I want to spend more time there this year.

My next priority reading will be tax instructions tho. Nevermind a stack of books at home still unread, mostly non-fiction. Next week my Days Off are changed to cover a co-workers vaca, so I'll have to work six days in a row without any break for rest, pics, n errands.
.
I won't be blogging as much in the next few weeks, involuntarily. There's simply too much to do in too little time. February is a short month, n my funds need a boost.
My 'Puter needs more hard-drive space ASAP, n Windows updates won't even fit for security. Nothing can be done about it until the bux, n time. I'll get around to read as I can, but less often (Not every day :( ). Several upcoming needs will require missed days of sleep I also can't afford.
.
Now Day Off time is over, n I'm off skating thru February on thin ice...
I'm waiting for the icebergs to build....
