Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit cloudy, but not all dark and gloomy. Today will be warm, around 80, and there's a chance of showers or storms late tonight. Seems like we're heading into a wet pattern, which will make all the planted things happy - and make it difficult to get the rest done! LOL!
Yesterday: It turned into a strange day. We left on time, late enough to miss the morning traffic, and got to the first appointment. That didn't take long, so we headed out. Unfortunately, the 2nd appointment was *somewhere else*. And even with written out directions (*I* wasn't trying to read them, I was driving! LOL!), we got lost. We ended up missing the appointment and came back home. A quick stop by the bank solved a problem, and we were home in time for the therapist to come by. But, I confess - I didn't make good use of the "extra" afternoon. Actually, I didn't make any use of it at all! My excuse - I didn't have a list! LOL!! I did enjoy watching Dancing last night. :)
Today: It's a dialysis and work day, so not much will get done again. I will get out this morning and water my tomatoes. With rain coming, everything else will be OK until tomorrow. My porch is coming along nicely; I don't know if the rainy weather coming in will hamper that much or not, will just have to see how it goes. This week's "project" (deep cleaning) room is the living room, which at least doesn't need decluttering. So maybe I'll start tonight on some of the drawers for the built-in desk. I also have the next sewing project to get busy on! :)
Today is "Library Legislative Days and Virtual Library Legislative Days" ... "World Lupus Day" ... "Confederate Day (NC, SC)" ... "Birthday of Lord Buddah (China)" ... "Vesak Day (Singapore)".
