Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Yesterday's rain stopped by late afternoon, but will be back again by this afternoon. Today will be low 50s. While that's below "normal", it's not too bad; and we really need all this lovely rain!
Yesterday: It was a very lazy day! I did spend a few minutes off and on trying to clear the clutter out of the guest room; and I worked on my sewing project. But, mostly, I watched TV, played on the computer, and just goofed off. :) It was a gray day, and just felt like a good "do nothing" day!
Today: I will have to make up for yesterday. After taking DH to dialysis, I will (again) stop by the Sprint store, and then do grocery shopping. Hopefully I'll have time to do a few things around the house before going back to pick up DH. I don't even remember what's on TV tonight, except the AI results show. I'm sure I'll find *something*! LOL!
Today is "Bunsen Burner Day" ... "Mule Day" ... "National "She's Funny That Way" Day" ... "Anniversary - Eiffel Tower" ... "Transfer Day (Virgin Islands)".
