Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. We're still getting rain this morning. It's supposed to clear some by this afternoon, and get to the low 50s. It'll still be breezy though, so won't feel much warmer. I hope the weather report tonight indicates a significant change in the amount of rainfall needed now! LOL!
Yesterday: We had a busy day, although I got off to a slow start again. I braved the rain and got the rent paid and back to (a different) grocery store. Several "little" things got done at home ... putting up hooks, hanging up a mop/broom caddy, that sort of thing. Plus, I was able to move a lot of clutter around and take an old dresser upstairs for more storage.
Today: I'm still slow starting ... I just don't "do" morning any more! LOL!! But, I hope to finish moving stuff around in the room I'm trying to re-organize; and also, it's past time (to my sorrow!) to pack away the rest of Christmas. :)
Today is "Weatherperson's Day" ... "Constitution Day (Mexico)".
