Good Morning! Monday November 8, 2010

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, though there is frost on the ground in the shaded areas. I can hear geese flying overhead, out of my line of sight. Today will be mid 60s, a wonderful perfect fall day.
Yesterday: I was very busy, though (as usual) I didn't get to everything on my list. However, I got a lot done, a few things that weren't on my list even. I ran out of steam before I quite finished decluttering from trying to get things organized; but I'll finish before the week is out anyway.
Today: It's back to work, and a quick run to Wal-Mart after work (of all things, I need batteries! LOL!). Tonight I will try to finish putting away clean laundry, but doubt I will get more than that done. :)

Today is "Abet and Aid Punsters Day" ... "Cook Something Bold and Pungent Day" ... "National Parents As Teachers Day" ... "World Orphans Day" ... "X-ray Discovery Day" ... "Admission Day (Montana)".
