Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's bright and clear, and may actually go to the low 40s. Clouds will be moving in this afternoon; and just north of me they're predicting possibly up to an inch of snow. I know that is nothing in a lot of areas ... but it's a big deal here! LOL! Or at least it would be ... if I got to see any of it. That doesn't seem likely.
I had another night of getting nothing done. It looks like until this super cold snap is gone I won't get a lot accomplished ... trying to conserve the heating gas means lowering the thermostat and bundling up more. Best excuse I ever had! LOL!
Tonight I do have to deal with some laundry; but other than that, it's a good TV night. :)
Today is "I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore Day" ... "Orthodox Christmas" ... "Christmas (Russia)" ... "Nanakusa (Japan)".
Quotes of the Day:
"Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home."
-- Bill Cosby
"You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it."
-- Robin Williams
