Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's just starting to turn faintly pink, barely over the treetops. It will be a mixture of sunny and cloudy; but also a cool upper 50s and breezy. I believe there may be rain later in the week, but not today. It will still be a nice fall day.
Yesterday: It was not as bad a day at work as I was afraid of. The reports got done, and work went on as usual. DH had driven me to work (so he could go get a battery for the other car); when he picked me up we went by Wally World for some half price candy (to put back for Christmas). We went to Bo-Jangles, and I got home in time to watch Dancing. Yah Jennifer, she's "back"! :) I also did a bit of decluttering (during commercials of course).
Today: I think my favorite shows tonight might be reruns (already? really?), so perhaps I'll watch the Dancing results show. In a few weeks another new show starts that I'm real excited about ... Skating With The Stars! Meantime, tonight, I'll do some more decluttering, perhaps work on some laundry.
Today is "All Souls' Day (Catholic)" ... "General Election Day (US)" ... "National Traffic Directors Day" ... "Plan Your Epitaph Day" ... "Admission Day (North Dakota)" ... "Admission Day (South Dakota)".
