Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's fairly bright out, but still quite cloudy. It's supposed to clear up, but become cloudy again and possible sprinkles or showers by this afternoon. It will be a mild mid-50s today. My original "plan" had been to start on the outside things today, but it's not a good day for that.
Yesterday: I managed to be fairly productive despite unexpected interruptions. All of the fall and "usual" decorations are packed (except a few things that don't go in boxes, such as lamps). I have some things to take upstairs still, but at least it's organized. I managed to get to the grocery store, and got laundry started.
Today: I expect will be very busy. My friend will be helping, and we have several "projects" to get done, such as a little bit more furniture moving, some (craft) painting, and a few outdoor things if the weather lets us. Her dad is coming over later to help install the other 2 ceiling fans ... and I will be making a big pot of soup! :)
Today is "Sadie Hawkins Day" ... "Saxophone Day" ... "UN International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict".
