Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Even though it will be in the upper 90s later today, it's quite nice outside right now. It's clear and bright now, will be humid, and maybe a possibility of afternoon storms. I'm not hoping for that (sprinklers going!)
Yesterday: It was a busy but mostly unproductive day. I got the "basics" done. I was supposed to spend the afternoon helping a friend take a load of trash to a landfill. It turned into a comedy of errors (involving people - not me!! LOL!! - who can't tell time and also don't know to watch the GAS level!) that took up all afternoon and accomplished nothing. Oh well, at least I wasn't *working* (not that driving is that much better).
Today: Today will be a better day, I just know it! :) I'll have to go pick up the refills I forgot yesterday, and some groceries. But after that I get some help with an assembly project, and hopefully start getting some **junk** out of here! :)
