Good Morning! Tuesday March 29, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! The sun is back out, and it will go to a very seasonable mid 60s today. We did end up getting right much rain, but not "enough". I think there's another system headed our way in a few days.
Yesterday: We got a very early start, and of course had "rush hour" traffic. It was raining, even sleeting a little; and I *might* have seen a snowflake or two. We got to the clinic on time anyway, and the appointment didn't take long at all. It was the nephrologist, and turns out DH doesn't need to go to him anymore since he's seeing doctors at the dialysis center. We were home by noon. I had a brief spurt of energy, and got some dishes and laundry done ... and then fizzled! LOL! I finished the "first stage" of a sewing project, but that's all I got done. I had a hard time staying awake enough to watch Dancing.
Today: It's a dialysis day, so coming and going at odd times. Plus, the plumber called and is on his way ... awkward, but nothing I can do about it. He may only look at the leaky pipe to determine what he needs, and come back later. At least, that's what I'm hoping! LOL! Other than that, I will go by the Sprint store - again - but no other plans. Tonight I'll work on the sewing project, and watch the Dancing results show (I don't especially enjoy results shows ... just want to kow who goes home! LOL!).

Today is "Knights Of Columbus Founders Day" ... "National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day" ... "Texas Love the Children's Day (Tx)" ... "Commemoration Day (Madagascar)" ... "Youth Day (Taiwan)".
