Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It seems a bit overcast so far, and today will probably be mostly cloudy. We're edging back into the heat again, high today upper 80s. A front is bringing us more humidity .. summer weather early this year.
Last night I didn't make the trip up the stairs; but I did get more "hot spots" cleared. I just have to keep reminding myself, it's all progress of one form or another! Tonight I have to stop after work for groceries; maybe I'll get a few more things upstairs. I'll at least tackle a bit more clutter; and, I have accumulated a large pile of mending I need to start dealing with! :)
