Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, just a little on the cool side. It will get up to mid 70s, and will get cloudier through the morning. There's a chance of showers or storms by afternoon.
Yesterday: I rushed around a bit in the morning, but in the end everything important got done and we left on time. :) It was a fairly "ordinary" day for both of us. As soon as we got home, I went back out for one quick errand I forgot. I got home full of "good intentions" to be productive; but of course I fizzled! LOL! I got a few little decluttering things done. Perhaps today will be better.
Today: DH has a doctor appointment - just a follow up - this morning. It's in town, so not an all day thing. Some lumber is being delivered this afternoon. Hopefully I will manage to get to all the things on my (always long) "to do" list ... before it gets rainy and I lose momentum! LOL!
Today is "Joseph Brackett Day" ... "Military Spouse Appreciation Day" ... "National Nurses Day" ... "No Diet Day" ... "No Homework Day" ... "No Pants Day".
