Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. Although the forecast is for partly cloudy, for now it is bright and clear. It will be hot and humid again though, with mid to upper 90s and possible showers. I'd be glad of rain - we got none from loads of storms crossing the state yesterday - but sprinklers going anyway! :)
Yesterday: Even though I tried to not plan a lot, I stayed pretty busy. After taking DH to dialysis, I did some grocery shopping (only meant to stop for a few things ... but I had coupons for things we will use ... what can I say? LOL!), then came home and logged on to my class. I also got the worst of the trash (if not all of it) bagged up and took it by the dump before picking DH up again. We went shopping and bought him some new shoes, and then went to Cracker Barrel for dinner (yay, no dishes - and - I resisted buying anything in the gift shop. Of course, that's partly because they had sold out of the cat clock I really wanted! LOL!!). Last night I did little but walk the grandpup and feed the yard pups (yes, they're back). It's been very funny watching the cat and dog. There have been no altercations; but they do a lot of "circling"! LOL! I think if they had time they might become playmates. OK, maybe not, but they'd at least tolerate and ignore each other. :)
Today: I won't get much done at home again, but I think after today will be my last "errand" day for awhile. I'm taking a friend to take her son school clothes shopping. Not fun! LOL! Later this afternoon DS and family will come through on their way home and pick up the "grand-pup". I'll miss her. But I'm NOT getting a dog! LOL!
