Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still dark out, with more left over cloudy. Last night a string of strong storms moved across the state; we got more rain, but none of the storms. There may be a few this morning, but mostly it will clear to partly cloudy and around 80 by this afternoon. The storms are a natural by-product of this unseasonably warm weather. I think by tomorrow it's supposed to get back closer to "normal".
Yesterday: We didn't end up going out, the weather was too "iffy". I managed to clean a fairly good size chunk of my room, that always seems to accumulate clutter.
Today: Now that I've cleared room, I plan to try to assemble a new desk chair. I'm not very "mechanical"! LOL! So, hopefully I can manage this. Plus, more good shows to watch tonight! :)
