Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. That extra hour of sleep was LOVELY! LOL! Right now, it's pouring rain ... which is a good thing. We need this "real" rain, not the misty stuff we've had for so long. I think it's supposed to clear up by this afternoon, and be mid 70s.
Yesterday was a busy day. I did get some laundry and other "routine" things done. We spent most of the day out and about, running errands. Jimmy had to refill a few meds; I needed printer ink. We picked up my friend and her son, and went to Michaels. Even without any spending money, a craft supply store is fun. So many ideas!! Then last night I finished the report I needed for work.
Today I have a very long "to do" list, though I don't know that I'll get to it all. Today is for clearing out fall decor, recleaning all those blank surfaces, and starting with the first layer (fabric) of my decorating. Clearly nothing will get done outside! LOL! I will have to get out some though. I'm hoping my friend can come help for awhile; I need to run by the grocery store; and hopefully I can take that completed report by my boss's house later.
Today is "All Saints' Day (Catholic)" ... "All Hallows Day" ... "Daylight Savings Time Ends - Standard Time Resumes" ... "National Authors' Day" ... "National Family Literacy Day" ...
