Good Morning! Tuesday April 26, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Even though the forecast is for cloudy, at the moment it's mostly sunny. It'll go to low 80s today, and probably afternoon showers. Actually, the forecast is for "hot or miss" storms! LOL!
Yesterday: In the morning, I finally solved a problem, and got some significant progress on my sewing project. DH had an afternoon appointment in Durham, this time with a new cardiologist. That went very well. He's doing well, and apparently we're (attempting at least) doing all the right things. :) It was late by the time we got home, barely had time to fix some supper before Dancing! :)
Today: It's a dialysis/work day, so I'm not planning to get a lot done, except work on the sewing project while watching TV.

Today is "Hug an Australian Day" ... "Richter Scale Day" ... "Confederate Memorial Day (Ga,Fl)" ... "Union Day (Tanzania)".
