Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear, and today may possibly set yet another heat record. The prediction is for 104 (which makes it .. what, 106 or 107 here maybe?). The heat index is "only" around 110 (possibly up to 115) because the humidity is lower. Really??? LOL! Still no rain in sight.
Yesterday: With going to dialysis and work, as usual, not much got done at home. We did stop to pick up one last refill (for this week). I got a bit more tweaking done in the project room; I'm pretty much ready to leave it now and start another. :) Last night, just before dark, my wonderful neighbor came over and cut all the grass (weedeater and lawn tractor). And I have a LOT of yard! It looks so very nice (and green since I've been doing so much watering!).
Today: I have a very busy day! I'm rushing this morning to get watering, laundry, and other stuff done. Then late morning a friend and I are doing a bit of shopping (groceries!!). Then, late afternoon DH and I are heading for the coast. Our granddaughter is in a "rock concert" tonight, so we're going to that, spend the night, and head back home early in the morning.
Today is "National Chili Dog Day" ... "Anniversary - NASA".
