Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's bright and clear again, and will be even warmer than yesterday. It will be mid to upper 70s, and a little breezy ... a perfect spring day!
Yesterday: It ended up being a very busy day. Morning, of course, is always busy doing "morning stuff"! :) DH had a doctor's appointment - gout has cleared, everything looks fine for now. He goes back in a month for a follow up with a new doctor (the 5th one he'll be seeing at this practice!) I made a couple of quick stops, and we took subs home for lunch. In the afternoon the therapist worked with DH outside since it was so nice. My friend and I worked hard in the garden. It is now to the stage of getting the good topsoil mixed in, and hopefully some plants in by next week! I did do a bit more on my sewing project, but not much else around the house. I did, of course, watch AI, and every week I like Scotty more (yay, "home town" guy!). :)
Today: It's dialysis and work day, so I'm not really "planning" on getting much done. Hopefully tonight I'll dig up a bit of energy (or motivation? LOL!) and work on the sewing project. And, of course, curiosity will win and I'll watch the results show. :)
Today is "International Beaver Day" ... "International Snailpapers Day" ... "National Beer Day" ... "No Housework Day" ... "UN World Health Day" ... "Anniversary - Metric System" ... "Anniversary - World Health Organization".

Cheers!! My name is Justin Smith, and I am the founder of National Beer Day. When I started this holiday almost 3 years ago, I had no idea it would get so big so fast. It's good to see this important day in our history start to get the recognition it deserves. Thank you for helping spread the word about one of my favorite days of the year!
