Good Morning! Monday November 1, 2010

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! :)

Today is "All Saints' Day (Catholic)" ... "All Hallows Day" ... "National Authors' Day" ... "National Cook For Your Pets Day" ... "National Family Literacy Day" ... "Independence Day (Antigua)" ... "Independence Day (Barbuda)" ... "Liberty Day (Virgin Islands)" ... "Revolution Day (Algeria)".

Qoutes of the Day:
