Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. They've been saying lately we're in a drought situation, so a rainy morning is welcome. It'll be upper 30s today, and the "light" rain this morning will be progressively steady all day. I'd still rather have snow! LOL! But, we really need this rain; I hope we get enough to significantly lower the deficit (sp?).
Yesterday: I only had to work a half day, so got a few things done. I did get the oil changed, and did a (very small) bit of shopping while waiting. Then I went home, and got a lot done. The upstairs is fairly organized (there are a lot more boxes to go up, but at least I'll be able to find them). Two "big" trees and one smaller are now tucked away, plus a tote full of "tiny" trees. A few more decluttering and "ordinary" things done, plus a long conversation with a friend, and that's enough for a day. :)
Today: I'm not totally happy to have to go out on this rainy day; but the rent must be paid, and some other errands done. I hope by later this afternoon to get a start on my next "big" project - which will involve moving furniture around. I haven't yet figured out how to get to the "done" part while skipping the "doing" part! LOL!
Today is "American Dental Association Give Kids a Smile Program" ... "Bubble Gum Day" ... "National Wear Red Day" ... "Quacker Day" ... "Independence Day (Sri Lanka)" ... "Winterlude (Canada)".
