Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still grayish with just a hint of pink .. but that's just because morning keeps coming later. When the time changes, it will be lighter (but I'll be coming home in the dark!). Today - the first day of fall - will be a record-setting upper 90s, mostly sunny, and humid. I believe we set a record high yesterday; and at least 2 more days of upper 90s coming. We might get rain by Sunday, but I'll still be watering before then.
Last night I was not as busy as I would have liked ... especially since it was not a "good" TV night for me. I did a very little sewing, and even less decluttering (which mostly consisted of chasing the kitten off places she wasn't supposed to be! LOL!). I shut down everything early and got to sleep earlier (although it didn't really count, since I woke up again and watched the news!)
Tonight I plan to at least get laundry caught up ... as usual, on Thursday night and my favorite jeans (for "casual" Friday) are in the laundry basket! :)
Today is "Celebrate Bisexuality Day" ... "Checkers Day" ... "Harvest Moon" ... "Innergize Day" ... "Kingdom Unification (Saudi Arabia)".
Quotes of the Day:
"How little a thing can make us happy when we feel that we have earned it."
-- Mark Twain
