Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! The forecast is for partly cloudy, but for now it's clear and bright. It will be about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday (which is still around 70, not bad at all!), and still very windy. The yard work is still pending (waiting on unreliable transportation for equipment .. what can you do? LOL!). It won't be long now before the inside plants can start going out.
Yesterday: The nurse came early in the morning; and then no one else came. The PT was supposed to come around lunch time ... later in the evening we found out he was sick. Oh well. I spent part of the afternoon roaming around the yard with a friend, deciding where different trees and shrubs should be planted. I also cooked some chickens in my roaster (with the back door opened, the whole yard smelled good! LOL!), so now have that in the freezer. Last night I got to watch AI (though still not in color).
Today: It's a dialysis day, so we'll be leaving soon and not be back until late afternoon. I do have an appointment in the afternoon, and also will go by the Sprint store ... again. :)
Today is "Houdini Day" ... "St. Gabriel Feast Day" ... "World Tuberculosis Day" ... "Independence Day (Philippines)".
