Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's quite warm already, and going to be very hot today. They're calling for high 90s, which will more than likely be over 100 here. The humidity is also higher, but that does give a greater chance of afternoon storms (prefer just the rain, but we'll take what we can get! LOL!)
Yesterday: Since it was dialysis and work, very little got done at home beyond "routine" stuff. I had to make 2 stops after work, but neither one took very long. I did not get the burst of energy I was hoping for! LOL! (for dinner, I cooked DH some chicken breasts ... but I had tomato sandwiches! Yum!)
Today: I have a lot of stuff I need to try to do today. I'd prefer not to have to go out in the heat; but the refills weren't ready last night so I'll have to go back (thinking of changing pharmacies!!). And, since my friend is "stuck" at home while her dad is in the hospital, I'll be taking some things to her. I hope to make at least a small chunk of progress on the current "room project". And ... like I needed something else ... today I start an on-line class (creative writing - maybe the newsletters will get better! LOL!)
