Good morning! It's a beautiful morning! Really really lovely out, comfortably cool, breezy, sunny. If it would stay like this all day, I think I could just move the computer right out! LOL! It's only supposed to go to mid to upper 80s; the forecast is for "partly" cloudy, but no sign of rain.
Yesterday: It turned into a day with more "running around" than anything, but sometimes that just can't be helped. I got my hair done, took trash to the dump, picked up my friend. We got a bit done (she was in the garden, I was working on the room project), then went to visit her dad. (turns out he needs a triple by-pass ... prayers would be welcome!). Then we all went to Chick-Fil-A, and a quick bit of grocery shopping. By the time we got home, it was late .. again. Oh well.
Today: It's a dialysis day, which dictates a bit of the coming and going. I hope to fit things in between: I want to get by the farmer's market; drop off a new prescription to be filled; and get some more work done at home (while DH isn't here to be coughing in the dust I'll be stirring up! LOL!). I don't know if we'll be visiting the hospital again tonight or not, so trying to just "go with the flow" today. Y'all know that's hard for me! LOL!
Today is "National Woodie Wagon Day" ... "Toss Away the "Could Haves" and "Should Haves" Day" ... "Anniversary - District of Columbia Established" ... "La Paz Day (Bolivia)".

"Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then--we elected them."

"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."
-- M. Cartmill
"Those that think it permissible to tell white lies soon grow color blind."
-- Austin O'Malley
