Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's bright and clear ... and hot! Wow, today will be upper 90s, with a heat index well over 100. There doesn't seem to be much chance of afternoon showers, either. Hello Summer! :)
Yesterday: I did not accomplish as much as I hoped, but it still wasn't too bad. The project I was working on is done, though of course a new one (in the same room!) awaits. I got stuff like dishes and laundry done, some cleaning, some decluttering. There's a long way to go, but at least I'm starting to see progress in a few areas. :)
Today: It has certainly started out a lazy day, so I don't know what will get done. I *allowed* myself to sleep late. Everything is pretty much on track for the morning, and the 2nd rotation of the sprinkler is going. I hope we'll make good progress on the next phase of the project room. It'll be a very hot humid day (and a/c can only do so much - after all, the silly electric company wants to get PAID for all that a/c! How foolish of them! LOL!), so work, even in a room with fan and window unit, has to be in short spurts. Thank goodness there's still left over chicken, and veggies to steam in the microwave - not heating up the kitchen! LOL!
Today is "Bowdler's Day" ... "International Town Criers Day" ... "UN World Population Day" ... "Anniversary - Day of the Five Billion".
