Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. I'm up too early ... have plans for the day, although right now I don't even know for sure how the day will unfold. It doesn't matter, we'll get done what we need to. Eventually! LOL! I'm really not sure what the forecast is for today ... it seems to change hourly. It's a bit damp and gray now; I think it might be heading for partly cloudy and warm. They're saying rain tonight, but it should hold off until after all the little "goblins" are safely home.
Last night I did a little work on a report I brought home (even though I'm on vacation now, the report needs to be done by Monday!); and worked on clearing a few "hot spots". This morning I've got laundry started, working on the report some, and getting a list for today organized. Later we'll be running some errands - groceries, medicines, craft supplies. I hope to get all the "running around" done so tomorrow I can stay home (probably rainy) and get busy.
Today is "Halloween" ... "All Hallows Eve" ... "Beggar's Night" ... "Magic Day" ... "National Knock-Knock Day" ... "National UNICEF Day" ... "Reformation Day" ... "Trick or Treat Night" ... "Admission Day (Nevada)".
