Packages

It was a long night at work.  Towards the end I was torn between working late and wanting to be home.  I only left a little late and got home to all the packages.  Here are my happy Tuesday things:

• The A.T. Guide has arrived!  Did I take the time to go through it and take notes?  No.  I got distracted by other things.  But it is here and I can take notes later.  I have the pdf version on my phone that I plan to start reading before I fall asleep. 

It came with a water proof zip bag.

• The Garmin inReach Mini 2 has also arrived!  It was on sale for $100.00 off so I ordered it.  Since this will also need a monthly plan, I'm going to wait to set this up.  At least a little while.  It has a built-in satellite locator for emergencies as well as some texting capabilities. 

• Then there is my splurge purchase on a needless item that I have wanted to try for a while.  I bought smart colored light bulbs.  This was not necessary and it is what distracted me from everything else.  Well, eating also distracted me and the movie I put on to watch while I ate.  Anyhow, I set my bedroom ceiling light fixture up with four smart bulbs.  I can control them with an app on my phone or through Alexa.  My room is bathed in a dim blue light.  I'm loving this!  Yes, I'm getting ready to spend possibly six months in the woods.  There will be very little technology.  It was worth what I spent on all of these items for how happy each makes me.  Now if I can get to sleep with all this wonder in my!

Look how bright the light makes my orange jacket!

 

• And Nanni!
