Good morning!It's a wonderful morning. It's too early to tell if it's clear yet, but the forecast is for clear this morning become cloudy and maybe rainy by afternoon into evening. It'll be mid 50s today, but drop again in a few days.
Yesterday: I did good! :) I got the few odd jobs done that I needed to be completed; some routine cleaning, and all laundry caught up - even put away! LOL! I started out watching the **Big Game** to see the commercials and half time. But I switched over to CSI. Can't help it, just too much football inbetween so-so commercials. :)
Today: It's much too early, but we have another early clinic appointment to get to. We have to allow 2 hours for a 1 hour trip because of the morning traffic. I'm really hoping we get to leave early! :)
