Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's going to be one more record-setting hot day. Yesterday tied the previous record, and today ... at 88 ... has a good chance of beating it. After this, though a front is coming by tomorrow. Today will be clear and bright, perhaps summer's "last gasp". :)
Yesterday: I had an unexpected job to do when I got home, ended up moving some furniture around. I did get the laundry finished, but not much else. I relaxed and watched Dancing ... Jennifer is still by far my favorite.
Today: I may have company tonight, so I won't plan on getting anything in particular done; but hopefully I will at least manage some hot-spots, and a bit of sewing.
Kitten: She's being good this morning. I wonder what she's planning! LOL!
Sewing: None last nightm, but I hope to get some done tonight.
Reading: I will take my book to work and hope to read at lunch. I didn't yesterday, but maybe today. :)
