Good Morning! Thrsday July 14, 2011

Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Today will be dramatically "cooler" than the last few, only in the upper 80s. When I went out early to move a sprinkler, it was perfectly gorgeous! It's comfortable, sunny, breezy. We got a little bit of rain last night, but not much predicted for today.
Yesterday: We were all day long at clinics, mostly just waiting! When we did finally see the doctor (first appointment), it was at least our "favorite" of several. She's very pleasant, courteous, and actually remembers unimportant things about us (like that I have a lot of Christmas trees! LOL!). It was after 6:00 when we finally headed home, and we stopped for dinner (having had nothing but one chicken sandwich in the middle of the day!).
Today: It's a dialysis and work day, so still not much will get done around the house or yard. There's an over abundance of tomatoes out there, which I hope to at least grab a few of to share at work. Tomorrow will be a big harvest day again! LOL! Maybe tonight I'll start getting caught up on laundry. Or, maybe not. :)

Today is "Bastille Day (France)"
