Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. We're going into a 3 day onslaught of excessive heat (for here that is), with a high today of 100 ... meaning possibly as much as 103 where I live. The morning started out looking overcast, but now it's clear and bright; and there's only a slight chance of rain. But, that's because the humidity is a bit lower, which is good! :)
Yesterday: I had a fairly busy day, although it got off to a slow start. I got pretty much all on my "to do" list done, and even took time for a phone conversation with a friend! :) I also took a bit of time to take some things over to another friend's house (that's how "recycling" works .. you take things you don't need any more to someone else's house! LOL!). This week's room project is 95% done; I only have to find homes for a few odds and ends, and give it a good dust-and-vacuum. I'm already planning out the next room! Just before dark I braved the heat and went out to the garden ... and in a very few minutes managed to find 6 giant cucumbers and a basket full of tomatoes! Wow.
Today: It's dialysis and work, so I don't know if I'll get anything done or not. We do have to stop and pick up one refill; it's nice that it is now right on the way home instead of making a detour. Hopefully tonight I'll finish tweaking stuff in here ... and maybe, finally, be able to sit down and sew a bit! :)
Today is "National Chili Dog Day" ... "Anniversary - Singing Telegram" ... "Anniversary - World War I Begins" ... "Independence Day (Peru)".
