Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Even though I'm not where I had hoped to be, I know I'm where I'm supposed to be. We didn't get any snow here. It's still gray and windy this morning, and I'm sure it's pretty chilly out. But, my roads aren't icy.
Yesterday was a lovely combination and lazy and productive. I'm glad I took the vacation day, it was worthwhile. I got the last batch of cookies made, a sewing project completed and another more than half done (until the bobbin ran out! LOL!), several small gift items completed. I also got some "ordinary" stuff done ... cleaning, decluttering, laundry. Boring but necessary! LOL!
Today, since the roads are fine, I'll go do a few last minute errands and some (yuck) grocery shopping!
There are 5 days left until Christmas!!
Today is "UN Day For South-South Cooperation" ... "Anniversary - Christmas Greeting From Space".
