Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. According to the TV weather, it's snowing. Somewhere. LOL! As of now, it's not snowing, raining, or anything here. It's too dark (too early) to see how cloudy it is. (I just went and looked out the window. I think I saw a snowflake OK, maybe I imagined it. LOL!) In any case, it's supposed to becomemostly sunny and mid 40s by this afternoon.
Yesterday: It was an "ordinary" work day. I didn't leave anything overdue on my desk (which is a great accomplishment! :) ) Last night I did laundry (again - how can 2 people generate so much???), and kept working on getting this room organized - a daunting task to say the least!
Today: It's so early because we have to go to Durham again. I can't tell yet, but it looks like *maybe* the snow is farther to the east, and I have to head north-west. There are two appointments today, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I get to drive in "rush hour" coming and going. Oh goody. LOL!
