Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still gray out ... morning is coming later and later; but I think it'll be a mostly cloudy day anyway. We'll be in the mid 60s again, with rain and drizzle. They're saying this is one of the driest years ever ... I'm amazed at that. So, bring on the rain! :)
I didn't get a lot done last night, but I did make an effort to be just a bit more productive. I worked some more on a small project ... some Christmas sewing I need to do and had forgotten about! Oops. LOL! I'm really hoping to dredge up a bit more energy, and finish that project and do a few more, get laundry caught up (again), get at least one more batch of cookie dough in the freezer, and start taking some things upstairs that are in the way. I'd like to have all of that done by the weekend, so I start decorating with a "clean slate". Sort of. :) All I need is to find that extra energy!
Today is "Cranky Co-Workers Day" ... "Navy Day" ... "Anniversary - NYC Subway" ... "Independence Day (Turkmenistan)".
