Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still either cloudy or dark out .. have you noticed how early morning comes this time of year? LOL! Yesterday we tied a record high for the date at 81, and today will probably set a new record at upper 80s. It's very warm and muggy this morning, but will be breezy and partly sunny by afternoon. We had rain off and on yesterday, and maybe some more this afternoon.
Yesterday: I ran a lot of errands yesterday, both at lunch time and after work. By the time I got home and put up groceries (last stop), I just didn't much care if anything else got done ... so it didn't. :)
Today: We may go on a shopping excursion tonight for DH's birthday present (from last week); or, it may wait until the weekend. I've pretty much got things put away from the weekend, but a few hot-spots are piling up again, so maybe I'll get to a bit of decluttering.
Today is "Cranky Co-Workers Day" ... "Navy Day" ... "Anniversary - NYC Subway" ... "Independence Day (Turkmenistan)".
