Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. It's a bit gray looking this morning, but brightening even as it's warming. There's almost no chance of rain, and it will go to upper 90s, possibly as high as over 100 here today. Well, today it will be "officially" summer, so I guess it's supposed to be hot! LOL!
Yesterday: It was a bit of a strange day, and not especially productive. I had a piece of paper I needed to locate, and ended up doing a huge amount of purging and filing ... but I found it. While doing that, I also pulled out some other things I needed copies of. I got "ordinary" things done ... dishes, laundry. In the afternoon we made a run to the trash dump, and then into town to the bank. We got a safety deposit box set up, and a few important documents are now safely stashed. There are more to go in (poor little box will be quite full! LOL!) ... I feel almost "grown up" now! LOL!
Today: It's dialysis and work, which is probably a good thing considering the heat. I hope this evening to work on a sewing project. But probably I'll just watch TV! :)
Today is "Anne and Samantha Day" ... "Baby Boomers Recognition Day" ... "Cancer Begins" ... "Go Skateboarding Day" ... "Midsummer Day/Eve Celebrations" ... "National Daylight Appreciation Day" ... "Summer Begins (Northern Hemisphere)" ... "Summer Solstice" ... "Winter Begins (Southern Hemisphere)" ... "World Humanist Day" ... "National Day (Greenland)".
