it turns out that the weather today sucks anyways. the sun never came out so the ground never dried up and there's a constant 40 km/hr win moving in from the south. it might be an ok day for a walk, but that wasn't the plan.

some groceries came in this morning and my saw came in this afternoon. the temperature is unusually mild for mid november - almost 20 degrees - but this has become a normal occurrence in windsor/detroit over the last 10 years. we expect a handful of 16+ days in late november and early december, nowadays, and winter, if it happens at all, is usually over by mid january, or early february. a cold day in windsor nowadays is plus 3 or 4 degrees celsius. 

i wouldn't have gone anywhere in the damp windy weather anyways. the wind is not really going to clear out until mid week, so this might be better rain jacket weather this week than it is summer weather this weekend.

my wood will be here next weekend and the temperature will recover again by then. it might feel nicer next weekend, despite not being as warm.

i need to plan the rest of the groceries out, finish writing the document i was typing up for the apartment setup and then finish the last bit of legal writing (hopefully), before i can get those shelves into the kitchen and get to work converting the laundry into a walk-in closet.
