Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's going to be another hot day, mid 90s and partly cloudy. The *forecast* says a slightly better chance of storms this afternoon. I'll take any chance I can get ... so far we've not had a drop of rain for weeks now!
Yesterday: I started out well, got a lot of things done in the morning, and got a few errands taken care of after taking DH to dialysis. But by the time I got home and had to unload the car and put things away, I fizzled! LOL! Instead of doing the cleaning jobs I meant to do, I took a nap (which is something I do NOT normally do). I made a quick stop by the grocery store after picking up DH, but the rest of the evening was pretty much unproductive.
Today: I hope today will be better, as long as I concentrate on getting things done before mid afternoon when it's just too hot. We have a/c of course, but you can't turn it but just so high! LOL! I have already done the watering, and have a soaker hose going. We're going to a friend's house for dinner tonight, so I won't have to worry about cooking or dishes!
Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. And if you still have your dad ... cherish him!!
