Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still very dark out, and will be cloudy and rainy all day. Amazing that just a few days ago we were having record-setting highs in the 90s ... and today will only be low 70s! I know some areas are getting so much rain that there are dangerous flooding issues; here, we have to watch for high water on the roads (and in the driveway!). Otherwise we've had no problems, and are so very thankful for the rain!
The downside of the rain, of course, is that it makes me very lazy. And you all know I didn't need any extra help with that! LOL! So, last night ... I watched 2 shows that I love; read enough email to find out who got eliminated from Dancing (no big surprise there); and got to sleep early! But rainy weather is such good sleeping weather ... I still didn't want to get up this morning.
Tonight, I think I might have to make a quick run by the grocery store. I won't be watching TV so much, so hopefully I'll at least get aa bit more sewing done. :)
Today is "Michaelmas (Greek/Roman Catholic)" ... "National Attend Your Grandchild's Birth Day" ... "National Women's Health and Fitness Day".
