Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It was very windy all night, and in the early hours of the morning there was thunder and lightening, and lots of rain ... woke up to a moat instead of a driveway again! But, it's already quit raining; I believe the system has moved on across to the east now. It will only by mid 60s today, but might start clearing by this afternoon.
Yesterday: We had an unexpectedly busy day - which seems to be "normal"! LOL! After all the "morning stuff" was done, DH and I rode to take trash to the dump and then go pay the rent. We decided, since we were out, to take care of some other things too. I dropped him at the bank to straighten out his accounts; I paid rent on a storage building, and managed a quick stop in a thrift store (still looking for tea cups ... found some pretty saucers!). We got subs for lunch, and headed home. Not long after we got home, the therapist came to work with DH. Then a friend came by - we had planned to work in the garden, but it was much windier than we expected, so that didn't happen. After she left, our neighbor came over and we had a lovely long visit. By then it was past time for dinner ... and then on into getting evening things done, and watching Dancing. :)
Today: I will (finally) go back to work while DH is at dialysis. It will only be 4 to 5 hours, twice a week. And, I can't say I'm thrilled to go back! LOL! But my bank account will be happier. And at least I don't have to get up *quite* so early, that's a good thing. :) I have nothing else in particular planned, will just see how the day goes and what can get done this evening.
Today is "National Deep Dish Pizza Day" ... "National Tomb-Sweeping Day/Qing Ming Festival (China)" ... "National Tomb-Sweeping Day (Taiwan)".
