Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's going to be yet another very hot day. It seems we're about to set an all-time record for number of days in a row with temps of 100 or higher. This is not necessarily a record we're happy to break! For years I've been hearing the term "global warming". Is that what this is? There will be chances of afternoon storms; there were some yesterday, but nothing at my house, so the watering continues!
Yesterday: I started out well, got all the things done I wanted in the morning. I made a bit of progress on my "homework". But, my plans of not going out got changed. I didn't need to take trash; but then DH decided he had to have a haircut. So, we went into town anyway. While he was at the barber shop I went on and got groceries. But by the time we got home and I got everything unloaded and put away, I was too hot and tired to do anything else.
Today: It's a dialysis day, but since I don't work today perhaps I'll get a bit done. I have no errands to run except a stop by the farmer's market (hoping for some more fresh corn!). I think perhaps my long stretch of afternoon to myself will be a good time to work on the class. I'll have to take the trash that didn't get done yesterday. I'd like to think by tonight I'll work on my project room - but I know having to go in and out will zap us, so I will just wait and see, do what I can. :)
Today is "Gorgeous Grandma Day" ... "Hot Enough For Ya Day" ... "Leo Begins" ... "National Day of the Cowboy" ... "Saint Apollinaris Feast Day" ... "Revolution Day (Egypt)".
