Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's very foggy again, but that should begin to burn off soon. Today will be mid to upper 70s, breezy and sunny. What a great day to be able to get outside and do things! We did get rain yesterday; not much, but every bit helps.
Yesterday: I finished hemmng the suit pants! Yay! LOL! I haven't tackled the jacket sleeves yet, but will start those tonight. I hope I can finish tonight; but if I don't, I can always take my needle and thread with us this weekend. :)
Today: As you can (probably) see, I'm later ... I got to "sleep in"! Ahhhh ... nice. It'a a vacation day, and later I have lots of things to do. I need to get some cleaning done before I go off for the weekend; a few errands I need to do (post office, bills to pay), and a hair appointment. Also, I need to do last-minute laundry and start packing! OK, I confess, I've already started; but today I need to make significant progress ... that means deciding what to take! :)
The kitten was very good this morning, and curled up by my legs to sleep instead of trying to eat my toes. I'll probably let her "escape" from the kitchen for awhile later today.
