Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's bright and clear, and warming back up to nearly (or at) 70 today. The storms, with their rain and wind, have moved on, leaving a beautiful day here.
Yesterday: The morning was a scramble, getting everything done plus getting dressed fit for public! LOL! But, even with the rain, we managed to get everywhere we needed to be on time. It felt odd to be back at work; but I used my half day productively, to make sure everything that had been left on my desk since Feb. was caught up. In the evening I did a little bit more decluttering in the guest room, but that's about all.
Today: Today is our "in between" day, but DH has a doctor appointment later this morning. The nurse has already come and gone. I'm trying to catch up email, laundry, and dishes ... in between meals and meds! After the appointment, I hope to get work done on the garden again. It should be a great day for being outside. I'll try to do a bit more in the guest room tonight, as well as more work on the project that I'm so nearly ready to start sewing on! :)
Today is "Drowsy Drive Awareness Day" ... "National Day of Hope" ... "Paraprofessional Appreciation Day" ... "Tartan Day" ... "Charki Day (Thailand)".
