Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's overcast, but not "dark and gloomy"; the forecast said a "possibility" of an early morning flurrie .. if that happened, I missed it! LOL! It will be low 50s today, and maybe a bit of sun peeping out by afternoon.
Yesterday: It was an all day at the clinic day, squeezing in 2 appointments (along with the always-done labs and vitals) ... we didn't get out until after 5:30. Once we got closer home and past the worst of the traffic back-up, we stopped for a quick bite at Bo-Jangles; then, when we got almost home, we stopped at Jimmy's sister's for a "quick" (over an hour) visit. So ... nothing got done at home! :)
Today: Today is another appointment, but it should go a lot quickler. It's much earlier; although we're not familiar with this doctor yet, so don't know if he runs on time or not. Hopefully we'll be out by mid afternoon ... and have time for fun stuff like picking up prescriptions, and getting the oil changed! LOL!
Today is "Fun at Work Day" ... "Anniversary - Challenger Space Shuttle Explosion".
