Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Last night's rain has continued into today, but other than a few scattered showers, it will possibly clear a bit by the afternoon. Of course, then the chances start over. It will be warm, upper 80s, and humid. It's the "growing season", and gardens need the rain. It would've been nice to actually have all the garden planted before the rain! LOL!
Yesterday: On a dialysis and work day I never manage to get a lot done, but it wasn't bad either. After work we went to pick up some refills and a few groceries, then home. I did get more sewing done, so I really have high hopes of finishing soon.
Today: I have a list of things to get done, and really hope the rainy weather doesn't keep me from doing them. So far I've done ok, and have things moving along as they should. We have a meeting with doctors and nurses this afternoon, so I'm trying to fit what I can in around that timing. With the rainy forecast, no gardening will get done, so I have to keep working on decluttering and sewing. :)
