Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's still gray, and looks like we won't see the sun again until tomorrow. At least there is only a small chance of sprinkles today. They still haven't taken the "S" word out of the forecast for Saturday.
Yesterday: As usual, the day didn't turn out like I expected, but it was a good day. I went to a friend's house and we made candy; and then we came back here and finished decorating trees. Well, ok, they're not "finished" .. but they'll do. :)
Today: The shopping expedition had to be put off until today; and I will have to hustle to get done the things that I need to finish. But, I'll manage to get to what's important, and the rest can wait. :)
Christmas is 3 days from today!!!
Today: oddly enough, I could find no "celebrations" for today except that Capricorn begins.
