Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's overcast, which *could* mean more rain. It will be low 90s today, and with all the clouds it will probably be fairly humid. It's nice to walk outside early and find wet grass (from morning dew, although we did have a little bit of rain last night)! LOL!
Yesterday: It was a rather odd day at work. The department I work in is relocating to another area of the office. Since I won't be there when the move occurs, I moved all of my desk stuff yesterday (note: everyone has to move their own desk, all but computer and phone, but without losing productivity. Really?? LOL!!) I was amazed at how much *junk* I have accumulated! LOL! Not to mention how much dust - eewww. Anyway, it's done, and when I next go in my computer and phone *should* all be set up and working.
Today: I really hope to finish the cabinet project today, so I can finish the "room project of the week". :) But there will have to be time for playing in the garden first, as there are a LOT of tomatoes waiting to be harvested! I'm thinking I might spend part of the afternoon freezing tomatoes! If I can get those 2 "biggie" things done, it will be a good day. :)
