Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's overcast, may be sprinkly later, and will only be mid 40s today. Since we need rain, and these temps are closer to "normal", I guess I can't complain ... especially since we had the gift of a perfectly lovely weekend!
Yesterday: It was a very busy but productive day (for a change! LOL!). Two more shelf units for the upstairs storage got assembled (the easiest ones ever - wish we had found these first!); the area for our garden has it's first bit of prep work done; all of the extention cords and timers from the outside decorations are packed; and the shelves in the den are emptied, and the unit moved out to the porch. Of course, in the process of doing all that I seem to have messed up something on the TV ... now none of them work right! LOL!
Today: I'm waiting for a new "entertainment center" (3 pieces, TV cabinet & 2 shelf units) to be delivered. Once that is taken care of, I'll adjust cleaning and errands depending on how much time I have. There's always more to do, so will just see what I can do. :)
Today is "Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day" ... "Inspire Your Heart with the Arts Day".
