Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It'll be a lot cooler than yesterday, mid 40s; also cloudy with a chance of sprinkles by this afternoon. Well, every day can't be sunny and warm. :) At least there's no more snow forecast for awhile.
Yesterday: It wasn't terribly productive at home, though I did get some laundry and dishes done, and cooked dinner (Me? cook??). My shopping trip was disappointing in not getting what I most wanted; but I did get the important things I needed, so it was not a bad day. It got way warmer than predicted (upper 60s!), so it was lovely to be out and about.
Today: Today has gotten off to a slow start, but I'm really hoping to be very productive. I have to get my "public" rooms cleared of all the clutter from upstairs. This will be my only day this week to work on it, so I will have to just dig in and "get 'er done"! LOL!
Today is "Judgment Day" ... "Kid Inventor's Day" ... "Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (observed)" ... "St. Anthony's Day (Christian)" ... "Anniversary - PGA of America" ... "Liberation Day (Poland)".
Quotes of the Day:
"You cannot go around and keep score. If you keep score on the good things and the bad things, you'll find out that you're a very miserable person. God gave man the ability to forget, which is one of the greatest attributes you have. Because if you remember everything that's happened to you, you generally remember that which is the most unfortunate."
-- Hubert H. Humphrey
"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone."
-- Harriet Beecher Stowe
"Seeing a murder on television... can help work off one's antagonisms. And if you haven't any antagonisms, the commercials will give you some."
-- Alfred Hitchcock
