Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. We didn't get rain yesterday, but still might today. Right now it's cloudy and humid; by this afternoon it will be mid 80s, but as the clouds move out it will be less humid. I pray for the people in TN ... and still hope some rain gets here.
Yesterday seemed a longer than usual Monday ... too bad I don't get paid that way! LOL! I went to the PO at lunch time to mail a birthday card; and to the grocery store after work. I had just about enough energy left to watch Dancing! LOL! Oh, and I did manage to put up yesterday's laundry.
Tonight I will work on finishing putting things away in new homes, getting rid of clutter, and clearing off (yet again) my sewing table! I can do those things while I watch the Top 5 sing ... so afraid one of my 3 favorites may not last another week; but I'm happy they made it as far as top 5 anyway. :)
Today is "Childhood Depression Awareness Day" ... "International Respect for Chickens Day" ... "National Teacher Day" ... "Independence Day (Rhode Island)" ... "Greenery Day (Japan)" ... "Memorial Day (Curacao)" ... "Youth Day (China)".
