Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's completely gray out, and a very good chance of rain this morning. My plants sure hope so; even with watering, nothing makes them as happy as a good rain! It'll be much cooler, low 70s today, and clearing but windy by this afternoon.
Yesterday: while I never get as much done as I hope, I did make some progress. It helps that I came up with a "plan" that lets me take some of the pressure off of myself. It also helps that it wasn't a "good" TV night! LOL!
Today: I need to make a quick run by the grocery store (how can I always manage to forget something???), and catch up laundry again.
Kitten: She was a "show-off" for company yesterday, so apparently she's currently satisfied with herself and behaving nicely. :)
Sewing: It's going much slower than I would like; but soon I expect to have more time for that too.
Reading: this would go faster if I'd quit getting sleepy! LOL!
