Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. At the moment it seems to be a bit overcast. The forecast for today is partly cloudy and mid 90s. The humidity is back; and a good chance of afternoon storms. Unfortunately, those will likely be (mostly) north of home.
Yesterday: We still had some left over tired, so it was a "draggy" sort of day. :) Work and dialysis took up the chunk in the middle of course. I stopped by the grocery store on the way home; but not a lot more got done. I did manage some minor decluttering and putting laundry away. And of course I watched SYTYCD .. I really enjoy the group dances. Well, most of them. LOL!
Today: This will be another very long day, as there are 4 (yes, FOUR) appointments. Three of them are in the morning, practically back to back (and will be a major challenge to get to each one on time); and then there's one in the late afternoon in the same clinic that kept us so late Wednesday. So, there's no telling when we'll get home tonight. Good thing I have something to read! LOL!
Today is "Anniversary - Alcoholics Anonymous" ... "Anniversary - Ball Point Pen" ... "Day of Portugal (Portugal)" ... "National Nursing Assistants Day and Week".
