Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. The sky is still pale pink, announcing a clear sunny day. The forecast says starting partly cloudy, but at least out my window the clouds have blown away. Today will be upper 40s and windy.
Yesterday: It was one of the shortest "clinic" days we've had. Even morning traffic wasn't "too" awful; and everyone was running on time. We were on our way home by noon, so had time in the afternoon to get some errands taken care of. We stopped to eat a very early dinner; and except for one load of laundry, both of us pretty much "crashed" for the evening! :)
Today: Today is a work day. This is another "Monday/Friday" week (another appointment Thursday). I hope I have some energy left over by tonight ... though since I'm not starting the day with any, I don't know where it'll come from! LOL!
Today is "Boy Scouts Day" ... "Laugh and Get Rich Day" ... "Extraterrestrial Culture Day (New Mexico)" ... "Culture Day (Slovenia)" ... "Needle Mass (Ha-ri-ku-yo - Japan)".

"For every action there is an equal and opposite government program."
-- Bob Wells
"Human beings have an inalienable right to invent themselves. "
