Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sky is still cloudy and gray, but there's a trace of pink at the horizon. The clouds will thicken up through the day, and maybe there will be showers or sprinkles. It will be mid 40s, but later as the temps go down we might see a few snowflakes. They seem to change the weather map hourly, so hard to guess if any flakes will reach my area; but probably not.
Yesterday: It was a good day at work, I finished all the work I had set for myself, and with surprisingly few interruptions. At home, I got a little bit of organizing and decluttering done, though not as much as I should have (as usual! LOL!).
Today: I have a long "to do" list for today, making up for what I should have gotten done earlier. It's harder to push myself to get busy on gray days, so will be getting some help to motivate me! :)
Today: "I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore Day" ... "Orthodox Christmas/(Russia)" ... "Nanakusa (Japan)".
Quotes of the Day:
