Good Morning! Monday March 21, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! The forecast for today was mostly to partly cloudy ... but after a bit of an overcast start, it's clear and bright now. It will be mid 70s today, and only a slight chance of a sprinkle. I hope we'll get some rain later in the week ... but nice to have lovely days first to start getting garden prepped!
Yesterday: It was mostly a very lazy day. I had to go out to run some quick errands, but that didn't take long. The person I was hoping would come help with TV issues never came. I did manage to get most of the rest of the Christmas stuff packed and moved upstairs. I didn't do as organized a job this year; but we had *issues*! LOL! It's OK, it's done.
Today: Today has started out busy already. The visiting nurse came early (well, 8:45 - early for us! LOL!); and while she was here, the truck came with a load of good topsoil for the garden. Later the therapist will come to work with DH on some strength exercises. And, at some point today 2 different friends are planning to come by. And, on top of all that, the TV helping person *might* come tonight. I don't think I'll plan on getting any cleaning done today! LOL! At least I have a roast in the crockpot, that'll help. :)

Today is "Memory Day" ... "UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination" ... "Canberra Day (Australia)" ... "Noruz (Nauroze) [Iranian/Persian New Year]" ... "Independence Day (Namibia)" ... "Human Rights Day (South Africa)".
