Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! The sky is just starting to turn pink and yellow. The sun is reflecting off a few stray clouds, and it's really quite pretty. Today will be cool, low 60s, and partly cloudy. It's still what I call a nice fall day. :)
Yesterday: I did not (as usual) get everything done I hoped, but a lot of errands got taken care of; more Christmas shopping got done; and the toilet is *almost* fixed! LOL! It was a fairly "easy" day, so I'm not over-tired to start the week. And really, I only have 4 more Mondays before the new schedule begins.
Today: Work will probably be crazy today. End-of-month reports are due, and I will need to teach someone to do the ones I've done for years now. They're not hard ... just one more thing to remember! :)
