Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! It started out clear, but is clouding up quickly. No rain is *due* until late tonight; meantime, we get one more abnormally warm day, low 80s, and it will be very windy. The garden still hasn't been plowed, so not sure if it will be a good day for that or not ... it may just depend on if the equipment (tiller) gets here today or not! :)
Yesterday: One more dialysis day done. I got several errands and an appointment done, and then the evening was just relaxing.
Today: I don't know if gardening will get done today or not. I do hope to get some cooking done, and work on sorting piles of paperwork. Oh yeah, and I guess maybe I should tackle the **shudder** dreaded taxes! LOL!
Today is "Liberty Day" ... "National Puppy Day" ... "Near Miss Day" ... "UN World Meteorological Day" ... "Republic Day (Pakistan)".
