Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's quite clear right now, though the forecast is for partly cloudy. It should go to the upper 30s, which will melt away a lot of the remaining snow and ice - although, there's also a possibility of flurries this afternoon. The news says that the main roads are (mostly) clear ... my driveway isn't. I can't tell about the road out front; but I have to get to work, so hopefully it'll be ok. :)
Yesterday: I wasn't able to do what I had hoped upstairs ... assembling the shelf unit is a 2-person job. Instead, I cleaned out the coat closet! LOL! Also I cleared off the dining room table and got out some fabric to get projects ready for sewing. I didn't get as far as I wanted on that, but it's a start. There were dishes to do, laundry to put away, and supper to cook. Oh yeah, and I spent tooooo much time on the computer! :)
Today: I have to get to work; once I get to a main road I know I'll be OK. I doubt I'll get anything done after work ... and tonight the Dance competition continues. :)
Today is "Anniversary - First Woman Senator Elected" ... "Anniversary - Batman TV Show Premier" ... "Zanzibar Revolution Day (Tanzania".
