Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's very foggy out ... and the "dusk-to-dawn" lights that are still on look strange through the whiteness of nothingness! LOL! But, the lovely fall weather is hanging on, with today going to low 70s and sunshine quickly burning off the fog.
Yesterday: With help, I got very busy; and most of the outside stuff is done! Every year I change things a bit ... and as usual, I find I don't have enough extension cords. :( I also got my new washer and dryer ... very late, but still had time to get 2 loads of laundry done.
Today: It's back to work for one last (short) week of full time employment. It's a little scary, but mostly a relief! LOL! I have a lot of things I really really need to get done by next weekend, so I will have to get busy in the evenings. Also, tonight is the Dancing finale. I won't watch the results show tomorrow; but if that little twerp wins, I won't be watching any more anyway. Also tonight the Skating show starts ... what a dilemma ... same time as Hawaii 5-0! LOL!
Today is ""Saint Cecilia Feast Day" ... "Anniversary - Assassination of John F. Kennedy" ... "Independence Day (Lebanon)" ... "Humane Society Anniversary Day".
