Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It was a smidgeon overcast earlier, but now seems to be bright and clear. The temps will be edging back up again. The forecast for today in upper 90s, which will put me at high 90s. No rain in sight, but the watering continues.
Yesterday: With work and dialysis, I don't count on getting much done, but it wasn't too bad anyway. We've changed pharmacies, and I'm really glad to no longer stand in line at Wal-Mart! LOL! I also did manage a little bit of working on organizing the project room, and it's coming along nicely now.
Today: I got a late start, but hope to have a busy day anyway. I *plan* to make significant progress on the room (need to finish by this weekend); today is an on-line class day; and I have afternoon errands to run. I hate having to go out in the heat, but I just can't work my schedule any other way. At least I can wait until late, since I know I won't do anything afterwards! LOL!
Today is "National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day" ... "Take Your Houseplants for a Walk Day" ... "Walk on Stilts Day".
