Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. There are some clouds, but the sun is trying to peek through; so the sky out the window this morning is all purply with hot pink streaks. Gorgeous! :) Today will be much "cooler", upper 70s ... still wonderful fall weather. There's a possibility of a morning shower, but it doesn't seem too likely; and clearing by this afternoon.
Yesterday: OK, I admit, I didn't do so well last night. I sure will be glad when I get over this lazy streak! LOL!
Today: Hopefully tonight I'll find the missing energy and get some decluttering done at least.
Kitten: She is shut in the kitchen while she runs out her morning meaness! LOL!
Sewing: I did do some fabric sorting. That "sort of" counts. :)
Reading: I got too sleepy ... shut down the computer and TV early ... maybe tonight; and there's still lunch time.
Today is "Emergency Nurses Day" ... "International Top Spinning Day" ... "National Bring Teddy Bear to Work Day" ... "Saint Edward the Confessor Feast Day" ... "UN International Day For Natural Disaster Reduction" ... "Birthday - Navy Birthday".
Quotes of the Day:
"Never confuse movement with action."

-- Gautama Buddha
