Good morning! It's a wonderful morning. The forecast for today is "mostly sunny", but so far it appears overcast. It may be only hazy. It will be extraordinarily HOT today. The prediction is 101, and it's usually a few degrees warmer where I live, plus add in heat index. Wow! A good day to NOT be outside.
Yesterday: We had a great day! A lot of progress was made in the "project room of the week". In the afternoon we went down the road to a discount furniture store and found a pair of discontinued night stands for 2/3 off. So much better storage! We ate a late lunch/early dinner while in town. Then last night the neighbor mowed the yard for us.
Today: It's a dialysis and work day, plus I have an early eye appointment. After work we'll need to pick up refills. I hope to have the energy to do a bit more in the room ... lots still to sort ... but I'm not really counting on it! LOL!
Today is "Independence Day (Kiribati)" ... "International Town Criers Day".
