Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit overcast, though it's early and not full daylight yet. It'll be mostly cloudy all day, maybe even a chance of a shower; but mid to upper 60s! Nice. The gardens and flowers and stuff can all use the rain now. :)
I got a little burst of ambition (probably pent up stress, but at least I put it to good use! LOL!) ... got 3 rooms decluttered and a lot of things put away. Then I watched the results show. There were no big surprises, and I'm not at all disappointed with who went home.
I am, however, glad it's down to only 2 nights a week! LOL! Tonight will be catching up laundry, and more straightening up before the weekend. I also hope to find time to play with the sewing machine a bit more. It's similar to my old one, but a lot of new things I have to learn about it too.
Today is "Absolutely Incredible Kid Day" ... "Awkward Moments Day" ... "Companies That Care Day" ... "Forgive Mom and Dad Day" ... "National Biodiesal Day" ... "Flag Day (Aruba)".
