Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's overcast, but "bright" so far this morning. The forecast is for possibly more storms. We had a doozy last night, though it didn't actually last very long. Lots and lots of lovely rain though (and of course, I had watered earlier! LOL!). It's an "unsettled" weather pattern so they say; but warm - will be low to mid 80s.
Yesterday: I really dug in and got a lot done. Of course, the project I was working on is one of those where you can't actually "see" what was done. :( Oh well, it needed cleaning (built in desk with 6 drawers and 3 shelves), and it's done! I didn't get a lot more done on my "living room project", but I'm satisfied for now. Besides, I also got dishes, laundry, watering, and other such "stuff" done.
Today: Since the forecast is so "iffy", I don't have any outdoor plans (the ones I did have got postponed). It's a dialysis day, and the afternoon may just be "girl's day out"! :) Thrift shops sound like a good way to spend a potentially rainy afternoon.
Note: sorry for no post yesterday .. blogger was down. :)
