Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's gray and drippy, but it's not ice or sleet (or snow). Today will be upper 30s, mostly cloudy with occasional rain. It may not be a "nice" day to be out, but at least not icy. And I don't plan to be out in it more than coming and going to work! LOL!
I did get 2 loads of laundry done last night. I sort of watched the shows I like; but everything is reruns. I wonder how they can make about 6 new shows and show 24 reruns??? LOL!!
We got a bit more gas in the tank, and "splurged" and turned the heat up a little. So, hopefully, tonight I'll get some ambition or something and get some sorting and cleaning done!
Today is "American Dental Association Give Kids a Smile Program" ... "Bubble Gum Day" ... "National Wear Red Day" ... "Weatherperson's Day" ... "Constitution Day (Mexico)" ... "Winterlude (Canada)".
