Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The forecast today is for "variably" cloudy and possible sprinkles; so far it's kind of "milky-clear" ... no visible cloudiness, but not quite bright either. It'll be upper 50s, a bit warmer than yesterday.
Yesterday: The day turned out to be productive in unexpected ways. I didn't get everything done on my list (I never do); but I got a few things done ahead of schedule. Also, my friend came over - her cousin brought her. And while they were here, they put my new desk chair together (ahhhhh ... SO comfortable, and the rollers and swivel work!). Also, he put up the new ceiling fan in the kitchen. For the first time in months we have light in the kitchen!! Wow!! LOL
Today: I hope to finish packing away decorations and finish laundry. I may also find time to go to the grocery store. DH is getting ready to go stay with 2 of the grands for a week (our DIL has to go to CA to be with her mom who is having heart surgery - prayers welcom!). Once I get him off, I'll get myself pulled together and see what I can do with the rest of the day. :)
Today is "National Medical Science Liason Awareness and Appreciation Day" ... "Pumpkin Chunkin Days (5-7)" ... "Day of the First Shout for Freedom (El Salvador)" ... "Diwali (Deepavali - India)" ... "Guy Fawkes Day (England)".
