Good Morning! Wednesday April 20, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and sunny, even though the forecast said starting out cloudy. It'll go to nearly 90 today; and will get windier in the afternoon, with possible storms moving in (thankfully, not "severe" storms).
Yesterday: It was a fairly "usual" dialysis/work day. There was of course a lot of talk at work about who had homes or relatives with homes and property damanged Saturday. There was also a lot of talk about all the different ways we can help those who need it! That's comforting. I have my own contacts too. When I picked DH up, I had a chance to talk to a dietician, and she was able to give me a bit more helpful information; she also answered some questions that were really important for me. Yay. Last night was another lazy night, just watching TV.
Today: I have to make up for all my recent laziness! LOL! I've gotten dishes, laundry, breakfast done. In a little while I'll go get my friend, and we'll spend most of the day in the garden. Hopefully, most of the waiting plants will get in the ground today ... and then get rain tonight! Good timing! LOL!

Today is "National Equal Pay Day" .. "Look Alike Day"..
