Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The clouds have cleared again, and it's pale gold and clear. Today will not be as warm as yesterday, but low 50s is near "normal". It will be a mild sunny winter day. :)
Yesterday: Work days aren't so bad when you have Monday/Friday back to back! LOL! Still, it's draining to be cooped up without even windows all day. When I got home I had to arrange yet another Duke appointment; but after that, dinner and than TV. Wow, I got to watch Dancing and singing (sort of). I'm still unsure how AI will turn out this season, but I'll give it a try ... I can always change the channel! LOL!
Today: I have one more work day, and it will be "broken" by a hair appointment this afternoon. I've always had a hard time getting myself "together" in the morning .. it's even harder with fewer days. After work I'm to go pick up my niece for a few days, and probably a stop by the grocery store. I doubt I'll get much else done tonight, but that's ok. :)
Today is "Get to Know Your Customer Day" ... "Tu B'Shvat (Jewish)" ... "Women in Blue Jeans Days" ... "Women's Healthy Weight Day" ... "Martyrs Day (Azerbaijan)".
