Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. I went out on the porch early .. and it was damp!!!! Happy!!! OK, we didn't actually get very much rain - but any at all is welcome by now. Last night we had TWO "weather calls" (warning of severe weather in our area) ... the first was a lot of thunder and lightening, maybe 3 raindrops. The second - after 1:00 am ... couldn't have been much because I went right back to sleep! LOL! Today will be very high 90s; a good chance of going over 100. Mostly cloudy means it will be humid ... a good day to NOT be outside!
Yesterday: It was a fairly ordinary dialysis and work day. I got my "normal" routines done, and the house is reasonably presentable (if you don't notice a few closed doors! LOL!). I didn't get any sewing done, again. I think I need to rearrange a pile of boxes ... they're not *really* in the way, but feels like they are.
Today: We leave about an hour earlier than usual on work days, to go to another clinic appointment. At least I get to avoid the worst of the traffic. :) If all goes well ... and the clinic doesn't run too far behind schedule (which it seems they usually do) ... we might be able to get home again before "rush hour" traffic. I'd like to tackle those boxes I just mentioned; but I suspect all that driving plus sitting-and-waiting will leave me too drained. Oh well, the weekend is coming! LOL!
Today is "Stupid Guy Thing Day" ... "Antifascist Struggle Day (Croatia)". ... ""National Columnist's Day".
