Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's gray and drippy out right now, meaning we got a little bit of the needed rain. It'll be mid 40s today, and probably cloudy all day with chances of rain again by afternoon. Even though I'd rather have snow, we do need this!
Yesterday: It was my Monday, and felt like it! LOL! But, all in all, it wasn't Too awful; I managed to come home and cook Jimmy a hamburger (I ate a salad), and work on the quilt a bit. Every little bit helps! :)
Today: This will be my Friday, though the weekend still won't start for two more days (more clinic appointments). I hope to get a load of laundry done tonight, and work more on the quilt.
