Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's not so hot out for early morning watering, although it will still be to the low or mid 90s today. Last night at 6:00 it was still 98 on my porch; I don't think today will be *quite* that hot. They're saying partly cloudy and the usual chance of afternoon or evening storms.
Yesterday: It was a long day, as the clinic days usually are. The hour drive to Duke took nearer to 2 hours because of road construction; the clinic was running nearly 2 hours late. So, our 5 to 6 hour day turned into nearly 8 hours. Needless to say, nothing but dinner got done here! LOL!
Today: Today going back to dialysis and work will seem like a "break" in between 2 very long clinic days. I'm hoping for a burst of energey to appear from nowhere this evening to get some of the ordinary weekly cleaning and decluttering done. :)
Today is "Corpus Christi (Christian)" ... "Let It Go Day" ... "UN Public service Day" ... "Victory Day (Estonia)".

"I'd rather be a failure at something I love than a success at something I hate."
