Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Again it's comfortably cool outside, and sunny. Today the heat will start edging back in with low to mid 90s. The humidity will be up but only a little bit, so it won't be uncomfortable ... yet. That's coming! Still no rain in sight, but a lovely morning so far to go outside and water the garden. :)
Yesterday: It was a very busy day with a lot of running around; but in the end, a lot got done here too. Some gardening got done, and a lot more produce harvested. I finished the room project (my part at least .. DH has a lot of stuff to sort, but it's all "contained" in plastic bins for now). Last evening we took my friend again to visit her dad, and then we got some dinner before taking them back home.
Today: I actually don't know what today will hold. I have laundry drying and hope to get a lot of things put away. I have "ordinary" cleaning and decluttering to do, but not too much since a lot got done yesterday. I plan to start the next "room project"; but I may end up going to the hospital to wait with my friend while her dad has surgery (that simply might depend on how much "notice" I have, since it will be a bit over an hour away from here; and she will have family with her). Meantime, I'll keep plugging away at what I can. :)
Today is "Global Hug For Your Kids Day" ... "Mandela Day" ... "National Get Out of the Doghouse Day" ... "Constitution Day (Uruguay)".
