Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be even "cooler" than yesterday, a balmy mid to upper 80s. It's wonderful out right now, makes me wish for time to play in the garden. :) The humidity is very low, so it'll be quite comfortable for a few days before the hot stuff returns.
Yesterday: It was dialysis and work, and not much of anything else. I'm very good at planning things on paper. But my energy level seldom matches up to the plans! LOL!
Today: I'm hoping to accomplish a lot while the weather is so great. I have a hair appointment mid morning; but in the afternoon I'm wanting to get some garden stuff done (pick a bale 'o 'maters! LOL!) and also, hopefully, some significant progress on the room project of the week (which my time is nearly up on!). :)
Today is "Buck Moon" ... "Saint Swithin's Day".
