Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's gray out, and quite chilly, but not raining. Yesteraay's "showers" (what imaginary forecast did I get that from?? LOL!) was a steady all day pouring rain. I think we're not in a drought any more. :) Today's is for cold - mid to upper 30s - and showers. Well, it also said "flurries"; but not a chance of that here. As long as it's not just pouring all day, things will get done.
Last night I watched a bit of TV, and went to sleep early. Hmmm... early on a Friday night ... am I getting ...*gasp* ... old??? LOL!!
Today I will be more productive. It's harder when it's dreary (S.A.D.D.); but I'll hopefully have some help, and maybe even get out to do some window shopping. It may just depend on how the weather goes today.
