Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It's pale blue and gold ... announcing a bright sunny day ahead. It will be mid to upper 40s - not "warm", but certainly not freezing either. Of course, being inside most of the day, it doesn't much matter. :)
Yesterday: For a work day, it wasn't bad. The work load is very light (though I'm quite sure that is only temporary!), but late in the day I was given a project I can "get my teeth into" (more of a challenge). That'll take me through work days next week too. Last night ... between watching Dancing and singing ... I got 2 loads of laundry done, dinner cooked and kitchen cleaned, and a bit of sewing done. :)
Today: This is a "regular" clinic day, which means all day long just sitting and waiting. I've already done on-line pre-check in; but it's still waiting. In theory, first appointment is 10:00 ... but that's only for getting vitals. The doctors don't even show up until 1:00, and there's another appointment at 2:00. Hmmm ... this could be interesting! LOL!
Today is "Mozart Day" ... "Thomas Crapper Day" ... "UN International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust" ... "Anniversary - Auschwitz Liberated" ... "Day of Remembrance for Victims of Nazism (Germany)" ... "Holocaust Memorial Day (UK)".
