Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Yesterday's clouds and storms have blown on past, and it's going to be a clear, bright, "normal" (mid 40s) winter day. The only trace of snow left are where it had been plowed into huge piles, and that will probably be gone today too. The predictions are for more cold coming, but who knows if we'll get more snow? (I'm thinking we probably will!)
Yesterday: It turned out to be a nice day, and the weather held off for the most part. I got a few things done in the morning - not as much as I probably should have; but then, do I ever? LOL! A friend and I did a little bit of shopping, but I got home fairly early (looked like a storm coming, but it passed on by). I even cooked dinner ... seems like forever since I've done that. Hmmm.
Today: DH has a doctor appointment, and since I'm off work today, and he's still "unsure" about driving, I'll be spending the day sitting around the clinic waiting room. I guess today I'll get a chance to catch up some reading! LOL!
Today: "Fruitcake Toss Day" ... "National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day" ... "Congress Assembles Day" ... "Drinking Straw Day" ... "Earth at Perihelion" ... "Memento Mori" ... "National Thank God Its Monday! Day" ... "Admission Day (Alaska)" ... "Passport Presentation (Russia)" ... "St. Genevieve Feast Day (France)".
