Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! The sun is so bright I can't even see out my window ... will be clear and sunny and mid to upper 70s today! YAY! Too bad I will be stuck inside most of the day. Not even a window. Well, at least I still have light when I get home.
Last night I began working on gathering things for the weekend; but mostly, I just watched AI. I haven't changed my mind about who I like best, although the runners-up change weekly. I think Didi will (or should) go home tonight.
I have to go to the grocery store on the way home; but I'll still get home before dark. I hope to start assembling the shelf tonight.
