Good morning! It's a wonderful morning! It's still cloudy, but it'll be a fairly warm (nearly 70) day. We might even have thunder storms this afternoon ... very odd this time of year. Sadly, the weatherguy says it's not *really* (or even pretend) winter, so thunder won't be a sign of snow coming! LOL!
I got a lot done last night. I didn't have help (weather too yucky out), but I did pretty good on my own (for a change! LOL!). I got several areas straightened out, a few boxes emptied, and just in general things are looking better. Tonight I should have help, and I think we'll get a lot done (even working around some of my favorite TV shows! :) )
