Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's cloudy right now, and there's a good chance of rain coming today or tomorrow. We can sure use some rain! It's a bit cooler, low 60s, which still isn't "cold"! This may well be the last few days of being cool enough for occasional chances of frost ... and then growing things will really jump!
Yesterday: It was a busy day, trying to fit things to be done around dialysis times. But, everything on my "to do" list got done, so it was a reasonably "productive" day. And, I was able to settle down long enough to watch the results show.
Today: Today I hope to get some actual house cleaning done. First thing this morning, we're waiting for the visiting nurse to show up, and also for the friend who hopefully can fix the TV. Then it's on to getting things back in order ... and I'm trying very hard to schedule in some sewing time. :)
And ... for those of you interested ... Christmas is NINE MONTHS from today! Will you be ready??? Will I??? LOL!
