Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It will be another gorgeous un-winter-like day, possibly to the upper 60s; and sunny, only a few "high thin" clouds. Much too pretty to be stuck in an office! LOL!
I had my first "business" class last night. In theory I learned about "micro-ecconomics". In fact - I am in so much trouble! LOL!! I'm just not as smart as the others in the class ... so I'll have to try three times as hard! Oh well, it's only one night a week, and I really hope I manager to learn something.
Tonight, of course, is AI; but I hope to get a few more boxes packed up, and get the dining room and living room cleared again; or at least, the boxes stacked neatly. I have one last tree to go upstairs, so hopefully I will get that done too.
Today is "Rid the World of Fad Diets and Gimmicks Day" ... "Tin Can Day" ... "Confederate Heroes Day (Texas)" ... "Timket (Ethiopia)".

"Love all, trust a few. Do wrong to none."
