Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's already clear and bright, and we should have a high today of upper 70s, maybe even lower 80s (like yesterday). It's wonderful spring weather, although dry. No rain in sight, so I have to find time for watering ... that will be first when I get home from work!
My class has been cancelled indefinately (probably for lack of interest ... we were down to just 2 of us! but, there were only 4 to go. Oh well). I had a brief burst of energy (not long after taking cold meds ... hummm .... amazing, huh? LOL!) I did a load of laundry, and emptied one bookshelf and the tops of 2 others. Lots to go before I can actually move things around, but it's a start. Tonight, after watering and before AI, hopefully I can at least clear another shelf or two.
I did not enjoy Dancing as much last night. I find myself a bit put off by the "costumes" ... what little is left of them. But, I'm still quite impressed by a few of the men. :) Doesn't matter. Top 9 again tonight!
Today is "National Be Kind to Lawyers Day" ... "Thomas Jefferson Day" ... "Children's Day (Florida)" ... "Sinhala and Tamil New Year (Sri Lanka)" ... "Vaisakhi (India)".
