Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and warm already, and will go to mid or upper 80s! Yep, quite a jump in temps .. and more or less typical for NC. Although, we have set a number of both high and low records so far this year. Also typical - by tomorrow it will be noticably cooler, and possibly stormy. Today would be a good gardening day!
Yesterday: I did not get as much accomplished as I would like; but htat's mostly because I'm too lazy! LOL! I did get a good bit of decluttering done (the house *looks* presentable*); also some of the kind of cleaning that only shows if you don't do it. Laundry got done (so why is there already more???), and I even worked out in the garden pulling out grass. Not so much fun, but the rainy weather has put us behind getting it prepped.
Today: Today will be a errand day, for taking trash to the dump and paying rent. Since DH is feeling so much better, it will be a good day for getting out of the house for something other than dialysis! In the afternoon I will get back to the grass pulling!
Today is "UN International Day For Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action" ... "Victims of Violence Wholly Day" ... "Anniversary - Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr." ... "Anniversary - NATO" ... "Children's Day (Taiwan)" ... "Independence Day (Senegal)".
