Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I woke up to Snow! Yes, again - amazing! Even a cloudy day looks lovely when it's snowing. Unfortunately, it will get to mid 30s today, and by late afternoon the snow will probably change over to ice and sleet. The roads will be treacherous tomorrow. This is becoming a most strange winter!
Yesterday: It was a good or bad day, depending on your point of view! LOL! I got very little done at home (although I did put in some "qualify" time in cleaning upstairs). One of my favorite stores had Christmas items at 70% off ... well of course I had to check that out! :) Trouble is, most of their stuff is hugely overpriced to start with, so didn't get much. I also went by Wal-Mart for a few groceries and a few other mundane items.
Today: Plans for today have changed, of course, due to snow. I'll still work in the upstairs room; but won't have help. I'm afraid by late afternoon the roads might be too icy to go back out. I do, however, have to go out in early afternoon to pick up meds. Right now the roads are reasonably clear, and the snow has nearly stopped (or at least seems to have!). I don't think I'll have any trouble, but definitely plan to be back home before dark! :)
Today: "National Clean Off Your Desk Day" ... "National Cut Your Energy Costs Day" ... "Anniversary - Women's Suffrage Amendment" ... "Coming-of-Age Day (Japan)" ... "Plough Monday (UK)".
