Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's yet again overcast, but I *think* they're saying only partly cloudy for today. It will be low 90s (a relief from very high 90s?), but still humid. As always, there's the chance of showers.
Yesterday: We finally got some rain! A brief storm passed over just before getting off work. I had to pick up a few things at Wal-Mart, and we barely got out of there before the rain came again. I was SO glad to see it rain all the way home ... meaning my poor yard got a fairly good soaking! Ironic, as I had done a very good watering job in the morning. Perhaps I should do it more often to "draw" the rain? LOL! Of course, as usual, I got little done beyond dinner, a small bit of decluttering, and some organizing for today.
Today: This will be one more going to Duke day. DH has a procedure today (a test - hope he passes! LOL!). I don't think this will last as long as the IV does, but I really don't remember. Therefore ... I have no idea how long we'll be there, but have to leave a bit earlier (fortunately, should still miss the worst of the traffic) to allow for some road construction. I finally found out last night that the local restaurant (we've tried to stop the last 3 times we were on the way home, but it was always closed) is only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. So, maybe tonight I won't have to cook after a long day! LOL!
Today is "Celebration of the Senses" ... "Saint John the Baptist Day" ... "Take Your Dog to Work Day" ... "John's Day (Latvia)" ... "Macau Day (China)".
