Good Morning! Friday June 17, 2011

Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's on the grayish side, but the forecast is for only a very small chance of showers, mostly to the north. I can't even remember the last time we got any rain. We've not yet had to deal with water restrictions; but I'm very glad we're on a very good deep well! Today it's back into the mid 90s, and "muggy".
Yesterday: It seems like dialysis and work days are a lot of rushing around and accomplishing nothing much. After work, when I picked up DH, we had a chat with the dietician (we found out that my meals are apparently sufficiently boring and his "numbers" look good! LOL!). Then by Wal-Mart to pick up a refill; and then to Lowe's to replace the inadequat sprinkler. As soon as we got home I changed out the sprinkler. By then it was dinner time ... and the rest of the evening was pretty much nothing else getting done.
Today: Every day I hope to do better than the day before. Some days I don't manage! LOL! Today *might* be better. I've already mopped the kitchen, put up a load of laundry, watered outside. I have a long list of more things I'd like to accomplish, though I know as the day goes on I'll run out of steam. I have an appointment later, and will most likely put in a little (very little in this heat) garden time.As I do every night, I'm hoping for a small spurt of energy to get sewing done. :)

Today is "UN World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought" ... "Watergate Day" ... "Work@Home Father's Day" ... "Independence Day (Iceland)".
