I shoveled the driveway and porch today. There wasn't a lot and it had already started to melt, but I wanted to help the sun. Snow shovels are poorly designed. They need to have a much longer handle with a weight at the end to counter-balance the weight of the snow in the shovel. There also needs to be a second handle coming off the main one so you don't need to bend over so far to lift the shovel up. This probably already exists but if it doesn't, I am too lazy to design it.

I went to bed really late last night thanks to getting off work really late, and I woke up early this morning so I could go to bed early tonight and be ready to go back to work. This meant I spent the day feeling really tired. The snow shoveling and brief workout didn't help that. So I want to go to bed now. And I probably will shortly.

Tonight I watched Back To The Future and got my friend's letter ready to send. I scanned it and turned it into a PDF for my records (along with the past couple of letters that I forgot to do that with), stamped the envelope with my rubber stamps, addressed it and put a postal stamp on the envelope, and then sealed in the letter. I feel like I just went into way too much detail in that last sentence. Pointless detail. Oh well.

I was going to pay my gas card bill tonight as well but my credit finally caught up with me from when they had me pay one bill twice because it was late. I learned that it only counts if they get it on the day it is due, not if you mail it on the day it is due. Good to know. But it was nice not having to pay anything this month. And my bill next month should be pretty small as well.

I bought a microphone on Amazon today. My idea is to start talking about my day along with writing about it. Not in a vlog format though, just audio, at least for now. I have a decent webcam so I could upgrade to a vlog, but I'm not there yet. I just think it would be interesting to have my voice on record. I don't particularly like my voice but I don't think there is any record of my voice out there, unless someone has a saved voicemail or something. But yeah, if I can get past the weirdness of talking to myself, alone in my room, I might start recapping my day in audio as well as text.

I think there was something else I wanted to write about but it is escaping me at the moment. Which means it is time for bed.
