Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Right now the sun is shining; but the forecast is for mid 30s, cloudy (maybe even flurries - I seriously doubt that!), and extraordinarily windy. They got the wind part right for sure! LOL! At my house right now it's about 35 ... but that's in the one spot the morning sun hits, so could be a bit "off".
Last night as soon as I got home we had a plumbing issue ... so I ended up cleaning the bathroom. Oh joy. LOL! So not much else got done. I watched AI (surprisingly, pretty much agreed with the judges picks to stay on), and then mostly was stuck in a new (to me) Kathy Reichs book. Oh, and I did call my grandson Alex to say Happy Birthday! :)
Tonight, hopefully, I'll get that one box upstairs; and maybe even get another packed. Or at least get more of the clutter cleaned.
Today is "Be Electrific Day" ... "National Shut-In Visitation Day" ... "Pro Sports Wives Day" ... "Satisfied Staying Single Day" ... "White Shirt Day" ... "National Foundation Day (Japan)" ... "Independence Anniversary (Vatican City)" ... "Youth Day (Cameroon)".
