Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's again a bright clear day. It will be mostly sunny, mid to upper 80s, and a little windy. There might be rain coming tomorow, but today will be a lovely warmer-than-average spring day.
Yesterday: Having to drive to Raleigh is always a challenge for me, especially to an area we're not familiar with. But, we only made a few wrong turns (accidently drove through one of the areas hit on Saturday - lots of huge tree limbs, and crews cleaning up) and got there on time. Of course, that didn't matter, since the doctor's office was running late. For a procedure that took half an hour or so, we didn't get home until 3:00. Once home, I got some laundry done and all the outside gardens and containers watered. But, after that, except for fixing some dinner, I got a lazy streak (still feeling a bit blue I guess). I did watch Dancing though. :)
Today: It's a dialysis and work day. Hopefully everything will be "normal" today. The morning, as always, is a bit rushed. This evening should be calmer. I need to go on and finish my sewing project, so hopefully I'll work on that while watching TV tonight.
Today is "John Parker Day" ... "National Hanging Out Day" ... "Passover / Pesach (Jewish)" ... "Patriots' Day (Fla)".
