Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. Late last night storms went by, and we had thunder and lightening and lots of rain. This morning everything is "freshened". It's still cloudy, and may sprinkle a bit more. Eventually, they say, it will get to the mid 70s, but stay cloudy. If the rain holds off, it should be a very comfortable day.
Yesterday: I actually got a lot done, considering and work/dialysis day. I got to start a new project at work, one that is more challenging but much more interesting. And last night I actually managed to clean out one desk drawer. I know, not a lot ... but one less to do! LOL!
Today: I've started out reasonably well, sticking to a schedule. I was going to water the tomatoes, but since we got such good rain last night, I can skip that this morning. Instead, I "used the water" to do a load of laundry. LOL! I don't know if any gardening will get done today, it will depend on how wet the area is by this afternoon. We have a meeting with the dialysis team, but it shouldn't last long and then, hopefully, some gardening. If not, I'll try to get more inside cleaning done. Tonight we get to hear Scotty sing again. :)
Today is "Donate a Day's Wages to Charity Day" ... "Eat What You Want Day" ... "National Nightshift Workers Day" ... "National Receptionists Day" ..."National School Nurse Day" ... "National Third Shift Workers Day" ... "Admission Day (Minnesota)".
