Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's gray, but warm; and all but tiny hidden spots of snow are gone now. It was pretty at first, but less so as it started melting (and getting dirty). Today will be lower 60s, and maybe rainy; and it will probably get cooler (more "seasonable") later in the afternoon.
Yesterday: I got most of the things on my list done ... or at least worked on ... but mostly it was a lazy day. I watched the parade, and the dream house (not as crazy about this year's house - I just don't thnk my family or friends would appreciate being bunked together! LOL!). I sewed some, organized some, cooked some (not the baking - discovered I was missing a key ingredient - will take care of that today, and maybe bake tonight).
Today: I slept late, and seem to have a hard time getting going. I plan to go shopping later this afternoon; I guess I'm just not very motivated to get out into the dampness. Once I get up and get moving (away from the computer! LOL!) I'll be better. :)
Today: "Happy Mew Year for Cats Day" ... "National Motivation and Inspiration Day" ... "Ratification Day (Georgia)" ... "Ancestors' Day (Haiti)" ... "Kakizome (Japan".
