Good morning! It's a wonderful fall morning. It's still drizzly out, after a mostly all day rain yesterday. They say it's going to stay mostly cloudy, though not so much rain, and upper 60s today. That's a perfectly nice fall day; though I might be glad --for once-- that I don't have a window at work! LOL!
I always over estimate what I can get done at home after work; but I did get 2 loads of laundry done. I also straightened up my work area, so I could see just what I do have to get done. Also, with the cooler days ahead, I spent a bit of extra time when putting up laundry to pull out some warmer fall shirts for work. It's time to retire summer clothes. Since I don't have 4 separate wardrobes (I wish! LOL!!), I have to make the transitions gradually.
Hopefully tonight I'll get sewing done. I'm really getting behind, and running out of time on some projects.
There are only 80 days until Christmas!!
