Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, and will be in the low to mid 80s today. The forecast is for "partly sunny", so I guess that means clouds starting to move in at some point.
Yesterday: I had a very lazy day ... guess I was "catching up" rest after 2 days of gardening! LOL! I did get the "normal" stuff done; cleaned out one shelf in a linen closet; and got a bit more decluttering done in one room. I had thought I would go get groceries, but in the end just didn't bother going out. As it turns out, that was a good thing. One of DH's doctors called to discuss a change in a medicine ... so I would have had to go out today anyway to pick up the new prescription. :)
Today: Today I will go out and get the errands done. I'll have to pick up refills and the new medicine, get groceries, and a few other random errands. Hopefully I'll be home in time - and with a little bit of energy left over - to finish the planting in the garden. No rain is predicted for at least most of the week, so it's also time to get the watering system in place! :)
Today is "Labor Day (Observed)" ... "Melanoma Monday" ... "Robert's Rules Day".
Quotes of the Day:
"If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke."
-- Brendan Francis
"I always wanted a happy ending... Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity."
-- Gilda Radner
"If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done."
-- Peter Ustinov
"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."
-- Anatole France
