Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. We got a lot of rain yesterday, though it tapered off by late afternoon. Today it's clear and bright, and a bit warmer in the lower 70s.
Yesterday: I didn't get done what I thought I had planned; but when I look back, I actually did accomplish several things that I needed to do. Top of the list, of course, the rent is paid! LOL! I was expecting a delivery, found out it would be delayed. So instead, I went to town and placed an order to get work started on a porch (for those who haven't seen my house, my doors open onto steps to a cement pad - very unwelcoming) with a ramp. Then, in the evening, my delivery came after all - and I had cleaned out where I needed, so everything fit right into place. :) And then last night I watched Scotty be amazing again!
Today: Once again, it's a dialysis and work day. I hope I find some energy to be a bit productive this evening .. that would be a nice change! LOL!
