Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The expected cool-down is starting, only going to the low 60s. But it will be sunny, a little breezy, and still a gorgeous fall day. We didn't get much rain yesterday, but in a day or two we have another chance.
Yesterday: Shortly after I got home from work we had a meeting with an insurance lady. That took quite a bit of time (going through all the government required paperwork for something that we might not even get. Frustrating!). That pretty much took my steam away; but it was lovely to get home and see (most of) my lights working - I have elves!! LOL! I did get some sewing done though, while watching Dancing ... and of course I'm happy with the results! :)
Today: This is my last day at work. It feels like just any other day; but it's the start of the Thanksgiving break also. We'll have a big meal at work (boy do we have some good cooks!), so not sure how much will get done. Hopefully by tonight I'll at least get more sewing done, and start on wrapping. :)
Today is "Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day" ... "Tie One On Day".
