Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! There are a few clouds, and maybe a few sprinkles this morning; but there's also a lot of blue, and the clouds will blow over. We might have a record high today, mid 70s, sunny and breezy. It's hard to keep remembering that we *can* have snow in March!
Yesterday: Another day spent mostly waiting ... and I had a longer wait than "usual" because someone didn't bother to relay a message. Oh well. Sometimes it's quite true that "no news is good news". Everything is fine, or at least reasonably so! :) At least I got home earlier, so got a really good night's sleep.
Today: I'm going to tackle some over due chores around here this morning. I'll wait until later in the day to go to Durham; I might stay over tonight, haven't quite decided yet. I'm not much use to anyone if I'm over tired and feeling crumpled! LOL! But as long as everything is going well, and visiting is so limited (someone else planning to go this afternoon), then waiting until this evening makes better sense. :)
Today is "Great Backyard Bird Count (Feb. 18-21)" ... "Perigean Spring Tides" ... "Pluto Day" ... "Snow Moon" ... "Anniversary - Cow Milked While Flying" ... "Independence Day (Gambia)" ... "National Democracy Day (Nepal)".
