Good morning! It's a gorgeous morning. It's bright and clear, and will warm up to mid 50s today. But then, they're saying clouds start rolling in this afternoon, rain tomorrow, maybe even snow by tomorrow night. Looks like it might be another "north of me only" event, if it happens. That's ok too now - it's March! :)
In the end, I got a lot done yesterday. Everything "Christmas" (except the one tree I'm having trouble making myself take down! LOL!) is upstairs, mostly in boxes, all neatly labeled and on a master list. My kitchen is mostly neat and organized (a few "trouble spots" I still need to tackle). Laundry - 2 more loads yesterday - is all caught up. Now all I have to do is get my mornings organized so I don't run late every day! LOL!
Tonight is business class; but after tonight I'm ready to get back into a sewing project!
